Agreed. The 30 round mag is not needed and should be banned IMO for civilian use.

Also, the shorter the barrel, generally the loss accurate the rifle.

Which is only a problem if you're hunting game that is a far distance away. But not if you're hunting gophers, which is what the .223 is often used for.

How would you classify the weapon the shooter used?

Like I said, because of the 30 round magazine, I think you have to call it an assault rifle.
The reason I'm bringing this up is because I know someone who owns a .22 Ruger with a 30 round clip that has the collapsible stock, sights, etc, etc....similar to what the AR-15 often has. Is it an assault rifle?
I'm not even sure if it is legal, but I have used it before to shoot gophers.
