I guess the Merrriam-Webster Dictionary is taking a stand against the 2A.  Someone decided to modify their unicorn terms to fit their narrative.  Look at the newly added "also" part added in on March 17th of this year.

Definition of assault rifle

: any of various intermediate-range, magazine-fed military rifles (such as the AK-47) that can be set for automatic or semiautomatic fire; also : a rifle that resembles a military assault rifle but is designed to allow only semiautomatic fire

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/assault weapon (they changed this one too on March 18th)

Definition of assault weapon

: any of various automatic or semiautomatic firearms; especially : assault rifle

 

 

They also say “literally” means “figuratively”. This is part of the dumbing down of humanity.
