OK, so previously it had no definition, so "politicians" defined the term? Like nothing can go wrong with that... And now NY has now reduced that number of "additional characteristics" to one to make it an AW.
Most of those characteristics are cosmetic. Let's face it - the guns look menacing and scary to people. So let's ban them on looks. The number of shootings perpetrated by bad guys using as-defined-by-career-BS-artists AWs is miniscule. But crime's not the issue. The issue is control.
Besides...AW have no legitimate use for shooting deer (oh, wait, the Constitution has nothing to do with hunting?)
And, of course, they have no legitimate use for self-defense
