Mall Shooting

OK, Facts time just in case he did use an "AK47"

The civilian gun that looks like an AK47 is not an assault rifle as I have discussed before. What is an Assault rifle?

It is shorter than a hunting rifle (ok, the civilian version fits this)
It is capable of firing both semi-automatic and in full automatic mode (Civilian guns can ONLY FIRE SEMI-AUTO)
It is rather under powered compared to the average hunting rifle (all versions)
It is not as accurate as a hunting rifle (all verison)

So to you news folks, keep lying and calling it an assault rifle so you can fan the flame. No matter what you tell the sheep it was not an assault rifle used in the mall. . . and legally he could not possess it as a felon but I guess he didn't follow your laws. . . .
