Abstract

Rational discussion of the public law control of assault firearms requires both sustained attention to the definition of assault weapons and historical perspective on the control of special high-risk firearms. This article reviews sociological, mechanical and functional approaches to the definition of assault firearms and discusses previous attempts in federal law to deal with special categories of high-risk weapons.
