The term "assault weapon" SHOULD indicate automatic weapons. Unfortunately, the term has been incorrectly used for so long that the meaning is now morphed. It is actually very difficult to get automatic rifles in the USA, and if you do, expect to pay around $10,000 or more for each. I am sure the article is referring to standard semi-auto AR-15's, AK-47's and other such guns that look "evil", but are not different functionally from standard hunting rifles.
