It's a factually-incorrect smear. And sick coming from a man representing a political party opposed to checking one's identification in order to vote.
Plus, the real definition of an "assault weapon" is one with selective fire. In order to purchase one, I would need to seek federal permission, pay for an NFA tax stamp, and wait for months for the federal government to review my application and investigate my background.
Meanwhile, Clinton's political party does everything it can to ensure that non-US citizens vote in our elections.
A great democracy would above all seek a voting system that verifies that a voter is who they say they are.
