Where does it say that they are? The term "Assault Rifle" is a made up term by the media. There is NO actual classification of "Assault Rifle". Weapons are classified by the action they use for reloading a new cartridge. For rifles there are single shot, under over, double barrel, lever action, pump action, bolt action, semi automatic, fully automatic; with fully auromatic availible only to those possessing special weapons permits.
