MSM is always going to describe any firearm used in an improper manner as an "assault" rifle. The pro-firearm community is then forced on the defensive frantically struggling to point out the truth. What the MSM will not do is ever blame the piece of trash who committed the murders with firearms, or point out that one honest armed shooter in close proximity to the murderer bastard could have ended his murderous career quickly and decisively. The MSM will always humanize the piece of trash by giving its name and the sad details of its horrible life.

Kudos to John Gibson who, on his Fox show yesterday, refused to name the piece of garbage murderer. Apparently Gibson also refused to name the garbage on Thursday as well. I watched enough of limp wrist Shepherd Smith at 7:00 PM to see that he was not only going to name the murderer, but give the "sad" details of his "horrible" life. As an aside, ever since Smith stood outside the stadium in N.O. spreading the left wing lies about the circumstances there I have had no respect for him.

Bump.

God Bless everyone involved here. Hopefully this horribly tragic incident doesn't go towards stopping our right.

Let’s not forget the US congress actually defined an assualt rifle-must have at more than two of these features...

Pistol grip, detachable magazine, flash supressor, folding/collapsing stock, bayonet lug....

An SKS is not an assualt rifle per the defunct AWB (assualt weapons ban )legislation.

In actuality, the generally accepted military defintion of an AW is pretty much the same, except that it must be select fire and of an intermediate caliber....

An SKS is a lowly battle rifle (and a poor one at that due to its caliber’s performance compared to any full cailber battel rife-M1, M14/1A ,FAL, G3 etc).

The SCOTUS ruled many years ago that any object can be a weapon, (and therefore if one used any common object in an assualt, they should be guilty of using an assault weapon).

Think intent.

God Bless and Happy Hanukah and Merry Christmas to all!

Worth saying again, and made a small but critical touch-up.
