Washington State Gun Control: All Semiautomatic Rifles Are ‘Assault Rifles’
Washington State ballot initiative I-1639 contains a linguistic twist equating all semiautomatic rifles with “assault rifles.”
Ballotpedia quotes I-1639’s text, noting that the initiative is focused on “semiautomatic assault rifles.”
The framers of the initiative define a “semiautomatic assault rifle” as “any rifle which utilizes a portion of the energy of a firing cartridge to extract the fired cartridge case and chamber the next round, and which requires a separate pull of the trigger to fire each cartridge.”
In other words, semiautomatic rifles in general are the same as “semiautomatic assault rifles” in particular.
