The short answer is that it can't.
Firstly there are no "assault weapons", it is an invented term created by gun-control activists to sound scary. There is no company, organization, military, or police force in the world that recognizes any type of firearm as an "assault weapon".
"Assault Rifles" do exist and are a very specific category of firearm that in any case are virtually impossible for a citizen to obtain ownership of due to expense and regulation. The number of firearms in this category used in criminal offensives is too small to even be called negligible.
Firearms that were branded with the fictional "Assault Weapon" term meanwhile were likewise used in a statistically irrelevant number of crimes in any measured year. Handguns by far are the firearm most commonly employed in crimes, none of which fit the criteria.
