Slate: "What Is an Assault Weapon?"

So, now the federal ban on assault weapons has been allowed by Congress to expire. What sort of goodies can Americans (excepting residents of California, Connecticut, Maryland, Hawaii, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and New York, which have statewide bans) now add to their personal amories?

In addition to purchasing semiautomatic rifles with bayonet mounts and grenade launchers, consumers may also outfit their new firearms with newly affordable 100-round clips.

This was all for hunting, right, Mr. Heston? Nothing like bayonetting a dear to death. Once you've sprayed it with twenty or thirty rounds in rapid succession, that is.
