What Is an Assault Weapon?

For years, a debate has raged over the role of assault weapons in a nation where the "right to keep and bear arms" is enshrined in the Constitution. But what exactly is an assault weapon?

Does the 2nd Amendment prohibit 'assault' weapons? I don't think it does as i can't find 'assault' anywhere in the Amendment. So why are you tying the two?

Especially since, as you point out, the 2nd Amendment doesn't say that you can own an assault weapon.
