Please do not give him any information that could lead to his obtaining a firearm.

This entire account has to be bait. If not, OP needs serious professional intervention

Nobody needs an assault rifle

It depends on what you mean by "assault rifle". The "technically correct is the best kind of correct" definition is a semi-automatic rifle with a select fire switch capable of full auto, burst fire, and semi-auto.

Those are HEAVILY restricted at the Federal level. To be clear "restricted" doesn't mean "illegal". If you're willing to jump through the correct hoops and pay the correct fees, you CAN get one, expect to spend upwards of $20,000 to $30,000 in the process.

Now, if you mean the knee-jerk definition of "black scary semi-automatic rifle" like an AR-15... The laws on that vary greatly state by state. The Supreme Court will likely have a national ruling on it this year. June is going to be fun because that's when all their decisions get released.

States like California or Maryland? You're going to have a bad day getting an AR-15. Texas? Yee-haw!

No, it's not illegal. However, an assault rifle --- which will have a select-fire toggle that permits more than one round to be fired per trigger pull --- is not, under current case law, protected by the Second Amendment, and you are required to get a federal firearms license; the government is permitted to restrict your purchasing of them by requiring you to qualify for this license. They are also not inexpensive.

You can get semiautomatic rifles that do not have such a select-fire toggle that are otherwise identical to assault rifles. These are protected by the Second Amendment.

You can also, in most states, legally own rifles with bump stocks. These are functionally somewhat-similar to automatic weapons in that they can fire multiple times after a trigger pull, albeit via a different mechanism. These do not require a federal firearms license.

EDIT: You're also probably going to get better answers on firearms in !guns@lemmy.world than !asklemmy@lemmy.world, as the people there will be people more-interested in the topic.

The Second Amendment is still a thing in America, to be completely fair about it. As long as you're not an idiot while using it, you're fine to purchase a firearm. States that ban this sort of thing infringe on 2A anyway.
