I'm curious if his weapon was in fact an "assault" rifle or was it merely a self-loading lookalike? It seems that some people have difficulty with the distinction.
The term 'assault' rifle is really just sematics, your view on what an assault rifle is and my view on what constitutes an 'assualt' rifle might be different. Whether an AR15 with a fully automatic mode or 3 round burst constitutes an 'assault' rifle and a civillian model with 'just' SLR operation doesn't make any difference to me. It just means that someone using SLR mode operation can kill more people than someone with an 'assualt' rifle with a 'fully' automatic mode of operation.
