In Texas, gun laws are very lenient compared to the rest of the country, but the mentally ill (like me, dammit) still can't get one!
The thing about "assault weapon" laws is that they are usually drafted by the anti-gun lobby. I'm pretty left-wing politically and
I think the anti-gun lobby is rabid. (I also think the NRA is rabid as well, to be fair.) Given the right circumstances, I could kill someone bare-handed or with my feet, should they be declared "assault weapons?"
Everything could be an "assault weapon" -- you just have to know how to use it.
