Actually you are wrong.  A REAL "assault weapon" is a military grade weapon.  These would be fully automatic, defined above.  What they call as "assault rifle" for  purposes of banning them, is a scary black gun.  That's the only difference.  I've seen a video of someone taking a plain wood-stocked rifle and swapping the stock for a black one, swapping the magazine for a banana clip and- voila!- what they call an "assault rifle" only it's the same gun as it was before.  An unless you are using a muzzle-loader or a machine gun, your gun is "semi-auto".  I think people are meant to fixate on "automatic" but nearly every gun in civilian use is "semi-auto".  One trigger pull, one shot.  (PS.  I looked for the video to include the link but did not find it.)
