Here's a similar article on MSNBC of all places..

So let’s forgo the arbitrary, ambiguous, fear-mongering terms and get specific about what we actually mean by gun control. It may be politically effective to rail against “rapid-fire, high-capacity assault weapons” but it doesn’t actually mean anything. If we’re serious about solving gun crime, we should at least start by getting the terms right.

On MSNBC, I thought I was having a stroke when I read the opinion piece. Of course the first comment was an attack on the writer and made refernce to youtube videos of someone "bump-firing" a Bushmaster AR15. So that would make the gun capable of "rapid fire, high capacity assault". lol, they'll never stop/learn.

As I was enjoying a chuckle over the hyperbole on bumpfiring(BATFE jumped on spring loaded stocks already), my bride thought I should google "Slidefire".
