There is a couple of points I'd like to make about this rifle. The characteristics that define this rifle as an assault weapon, had no bearing on how it was actually used. Even though it has pistol grip, a detatchable magazine and is semi-auto, it was actually used as if it were a single-shot hunting rifle. I have no doubt these idiots would have sued even if the shooters used a hunting rifle. The fact that it is a so-called assault weapon helps hype their case.

Well yes they might have wanted to sue. But I doubt that Brady Campaign would be helping if instead of an "assault rifle", it was a genuine "sniper rifle", (say a scope-sighted, bolt-action Remington .30-06)
