Wrong. It was a semi-auto rifle, not an assault rifle.

That is a stupid article written by a stupid reporter. It is thin on facts and long on fear mongering. All incidents cited are of semi-auto weapons, not assault rifles.

None of your links are examples of the criminal misuse of a legally owned assault rifle.

Stop being paranoid about the government, you guys will never have a case to overthrow them you nuts.
What's paranoia got to do with it? And you haven't even begun to explain why assault rifle use cannot be defended. Also, what is and is not a 'legitimate civilian weapon'?
