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.

Buggy, I went on line and read a few of the articles. It can be done, but Figmo is right, it is not easy. You would first need to get the plans and parts, second have access to a well equipped machine shop and third know how to used the equipment or hire someone to do it for you. Hiring someone to do something illegal is probably not the wisest thing to do.
