They're assault rifles.

WHOA!!! there buddy just because the brady bunch and bill clinton calls AR15's such things doesnt make it so. Calling AR's assault rifles furthers their push to scare the public. When ever in public always refer to AR's and AK's as rifles. Or if you want to start a conversation refer to them as sporting or hunting rifles! Sorry to interject carry on.

I've never heard of a firearm assaulting anyone.

(just ask any SWAT member - Special Weapons Assault Team)

SWAT means "Special Weapons And Tactics".

 

[Hacker15E]

A single usage by a single team for a short period of time forty years ago hardly qualifies as defining the acronym.

When you say, "ask any SWAT member", chances are that most -- if not all -- of them belong to teams that don't mean "Special Weapons Assault Team".

Either way, such usage has absolutely zero to do with the creation, adoption, or use of the term "assault rifle".
