I'm sorry but that is weak. Continue to convince me that that is any different than any other semi auto rifle, functionally not cosmetically. Does color define an assault rifle? A pistol grip handle? Because again they all go bang when you pull a trigger, so you have me confused. Assault rifle is a word the media has latched on to in an effort to scare people like you into thinking there is a different breed of gun out there more dangerous to the public than anything, mission accomplished....

While we are at it should we restrict the public use of cars? They kill people way more often.....or what it he had gone and killed people with a kitchen knife? Should they be banned?

I'm not trying to detract from the tragedy, because it truly is a sad day for all the victims and families, but misguided anger at a tool is incorrect. Let's treat the root cause of mental illness rather than cries of taking away legal gun owners property
