Define “Assault Weapon,” Please!

Is that an M-2 in the picture?

I'm not seeing a picture of a M-1 or -2 Carbine presently ?

I had been referring to a picture way near the beginning of the thread.

That post and pictures have apparently been deleted ? At least when clicking on the pictures where quoted in another post ; it come up " you do not have permission ..." .

Other than the actual selector ; the visual clues are subtle ; particularly with Korean Era rebuild M-1 s .

We, the People of the Gun, lost this definitional battle long ago. The forces of civilian disarmament have successfully labeled pretty much any long gun an assault weapon, as long as it’s black and semi-automatic. And it has a couple of innocuous, utterly meaningless features about which politicians and gun grabbers are utterly ignorant.
