Another thing, assault rifle is a term used, that has no meaning. The civilian version of the M16, semi auto is not an assault rifle. Look the term assault rifle up, then come on back and tell me what it is.
Educate yourself on the correct terms and stop listening to the media who would not know a sling shot from a cannon.

Figgy, go on Google and type in "how to convert M16 to full auto" and a slew of information comes up. I did not download it since I do not want that crap on my hard drive. It obviously is not too difficult. And why should I read up on the subject before making the statement? Am I going to get sued by a criminal who was not able to convert his weapon?
Assault rifle to most people is the term used for the M16 and such weapons. They may not have the bayonet mounts and a few little features but the general idea stands. Don't get your tighty-whiteys in a bunch over semantics when everyone knows what is meant.
Obviously, this shooter in Colorado had enough ammunition and magazines loaded to put a great deal of firepower out since over 70 people were wounded and at least 12 killed. Even if the rifle was not the military definition of assault rifle, it sure assaulted the heck out of over 80 people.
