Too funny
Thibodeaux provided a link to this VPC chart that supposedly details the assault weapons used to kill police officers. One of them is the M151A. Turns out the M151A is a jeep. Yes, a jeep. Losers.
I felt obligated to save the page to my local hard drive for future reference.
I’d seen the page before but never really paid attention. By my count, the number of assault weapons (as defined by law) on there is only 13 (i.e., only the ARs and the AKs. The MAKs and others are, you know, post ban).

Armalite does make an M15A2 rifle:

FYI: Even though Armalite was the original manufacturer of the AR-16/M-16 rifles, “AR-15” is a registered trademark of Colt.

There are a lot of SKS rifles on that list. SKS of course is not a so-called “assault weapon”. It has no pistol grip, no detachable magazine, and only holds 10 rounds. Mine does have that evil bayonet on the front though. If I jab at something too hard with it though, it might break off, so I keep it folded up.

[…] Any way, they’re full of it as usual. Could be worse, they could do like the VPC did and classify a jeep as an assault weapon. […]

[…] Only 13 of the weapons listed in the original study meet the criteria listed in the now expired assault weapons ban. […]
