The 1994 Assault Weapons ban defined semi-automatic Assault Weapons only. It mentioned automatic..?

There is no such thing as an "assault weapon". Some states, like CA, would differ. Assault Rifles are illegal in many states, because a true A/R has a short barrel and short (or folding) stock ( This a;lso makes one a short rifle, and, restricted), they also have a detachable box magazine that holds 10 or more, fire an intermediate cartridge, and are capable of full auto (often "selective") fire.

So, there can't be a "semi-auto assault weapon" or "semi-auto assault rifle". Year of Mfgr does Not matter. Only, that no more full autos may be imported for civilian ownership after 1968: http://www.gunlaws.com/links/ http://www.westernfirearms.com/wfc/defau... http://www.ehow.com/list_6702970_assault... I see no restriction in OH except for the true F/A assault rifle.

Full autos are only fully unrestricted by state law for general civilian possesion in about 5 states. Some allow them with restrictions; like to movie companies (CA) or war vets as souvenirs, only (discrimination). There are sometimes city and county restrictions, too.

It's just the Republic of CA deems any "look alike" an "A/R". So, no AR-15's, no semi-only fixed-stock AK47's. CA even calls Yugo SKS's with grenade launchers "assaultt weapons", too.

There are signs all over the Mojave saying; "Don't bring this in! Illegal in CA!". The ATF has gotten on CA for all these as they countermand Federal law, but they won't budge.

Not all guns are "weapons", either. Some aren't even firearms. That is Also a legal definition.

A federal one, and also it varies by state.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
