    ‘Assult’ weapons are guns with a specific cosmetic features . Bayonet mounts, and color, the various handles. Since it is cosmetic that makes it.an expression issue and thus 1a.

      Interesting argument. But features like a bayonet mount or pistol grip are functional, not cosmetic. And I’ve never seen a gun law that talks about color.

        Semi-functional at best. A bayonet is just a knife on a gun, what different does it make? A pistol grip effects ergonomics, but it isn’t any more/less functional.
