So clearly just describing how ONE political party in ONE country used the word is inadequate. 2604:3D09:D78:1000:377E:61DF:3EAC:2898 ( talk) 15:08, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
I think that the recently added note is out of place and that it is WP:SYNTH placing a text about the difficulty of defining the term just after the text "Hawaii defines and bans assault pistols." This gives me the impression that it is intended to tell the reader that the Hawaii ban is poorly defined.
Also, I am not at all sure that the text in the book refers to the Hawaii ban. I found the snippet of text on page 192 (which is not part of the Google Books preview), not page 351 as the citation says. Drmies, did you read the page in question to verify that the text is about Hawaii?
The note could fit somewhere, just not there, as another supporting ref for the fact that definitions of these weapons are often unclear and disputed, but maybe not where it is now. Sjö ( talk) 16:14, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
