by definition, an assault rifle is capable of select-fire.

"hydrostatic shock" was a theory used to persuade Army brass that the 5.56mm round was capable of performing in the same role as the traditional 7-8mm rounds used during WW2. (come at me
@BeardOfKnowledge) 
But the real value of the select-fire platforms was in their ability to lay suppressive fire for squad assault tactics. "Assault Rifle" is literally the translation of the first weapon to be designed around using a mid-caliber, select-fire, large magazine infantry weapon (Sturmgewehr 44, 'assault rifle' 1944).
so while marketing is marketing, assault rifles are assault rifles when they're capable of select-fire.
Shall I go on?

Not all select-fire rifles are assault rifles."hydrostatic shock" was a theory used to persuade Army brass that the 5.56mm round was capable of performing in the same role as the traditional 7-8mm rounds used during WW2. (come at me

The military definition of assault rifle is pretty detailed. By their definition the AR-15 is not an assault rifle.
But it is an assault weapon by definition.
Have it your way.
eventually the concept was matured to point that the Army developed the M249 SAW (Squad Assault Weapon), where the magazine is replace by a belt-feed and is actually a Light Machine Gun, as it's commonly deployed in Brigade Combat Teams as a crew-serviced weapon.
The anti-2A propagandists attempted to blur the line by mixing the terms for Assault Rifle and Assault Weapon and convince people that weapons which are under-powered WW2 infantry rifles are SUPER DEADLY BABY KILLERS! BARREL SHROUDS! PISTOL GRIPS!
Your post was about assault rifles though.
My post also said that an AR15 was not an assault rifle by definition.
Another shooting in Tulsa
5 people dead at Tulsa medical building, in the 233rd mass shooting of 2022
"Four innocents and one shooter" are dead, says Jonathan Brooks of the Tulsa police department at a news conference on Wednesday.

@Filthy was so mad that I schooled him for 74 pages he tried to get me got!
But you then went on to explain why you seem to think it is valid to refer to semi-automatic rifles as assault rifles. Your post seems to be about proving the statement that an AR-15 is not an assault rifle to be historically inaccurate.
Another thread about shooting in Tulsa.

My post was from an article but I agree with it.
The AR does not fit the definition of the term ‘assault rifle’, even though it was created in response to a request for a semi automatic assault rifle. And was called an assault rifle for years.
But technically it is a rifle and it assaults. So the mother is an assault rifle.
Semantics. It’s nothing but a diversion from the real conversation.
Sad really.
My favorite part is how annoying language is in adapting. Because people regularly call ARs "assault rifles" eventually the term will be accepted as an appropriate alternative.
At that point I expect a number of previously responsible gun owners to go a mass shootings with dual wielding pistols.

stop making threads about the housing collapse and inflation. You're fucking with the narrative.5 people dead at Tulsa medical building, in the 233rd mass shooting of 2022

did you do look up "fire in a crowded theater"?
Isn’t any gun, used outside of a controlled environment (is a gun range), an “assault” weapon?
This is the kind of thinking we keep you around for Rob. Put in an assault weapons gun ban, then rather than passing new laws, just scope creep the definition to encompass all guns.
I agree that is the route America should go.
