The entire term was made up to ban a certain group of weapons based on cosmetic features.
It goes back to the 70s at least.

Incorrect. The term "assault weapons" came about when the Dems passed the ban in 94. Assault Rifle was in in use before that, but not a generalized term. And it was latched onto by those who wished to disarm citizens and increase gov't control over those citizens. It's a bad term, as it doesn't have a definitive description attached to it. It's whatever the next gun control nut wants it to be. Modern sporting rifles, are the most accurate and proper term to use for these firearms.
