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.


Well, then by that token an even more lethal weapon is my old black powder Hawken replica. It is capable of firing one shot every 2 minutes.

My definition of an American "assault" rifle is a rifle currently issued for general military use by the United States, which at last look did not include the AR-15. Most American gun enthusiasts share my opinion, while most CNN reporters unfortunately share yours.
