So is the rifle he used an assault rifle, a defensive rifle or what. People keep asking.
Semi-automatic rifle chambered in .223 caliber. Any scary looking rifle is an 'assault rifle' to the MSM.
The “assault weapon” is a term used to make folks feel afraid. The AWB is still in place up the road from Newtown in Mass. The same equipment could be legally purchased here. Get a couple of pre-ban magazines, and your local insane punk could shoot up the local mall just fine.
It is an empty argument.
