which progressives would easily recognize as an assault weapon.
Definitely wouldn't be an assault weapon, since I doubt it would've had some of the defining features like a muzzle break or a pistol grip.
I really hate how people keep falling for this "assault weapon" bullshit. It's a bullshit term made up to make people confuse it with the term "assault rifle". It's a term they made up for the purpose of scaring the normies and keeping them under control.
The use of "assault weapon" was meant as a rhetorical flourish, under the assumption that this is preaching to the choir who do not need the typical deconstruction of leftist framing as would be required for a normie reader.
