Re: Security Guard Kills Shooter Who Fired at Crowd Outside Alaskan Bar
Semi-automatic-only rifles like the Colt AR-15 are not assault rifles; they do not have select-fire capabilities.

That crime scene was handled very poorly. You’ve got random civilians grabbing the gubmans pistol and the dead man’s friends lifting his body  |

Re: Security Guard Kills Shooter Who Fired at Crowd Outside Alaskan Bar
I wasn't making any comment on whether or not a particular weapon is or is not an assault rifle, I'm simply responding to the somewhat odd assertion that "there is no such thing". Its true that not all definitions align perfectly, but that doesn't mean there isn't a definition. That said, most definitions I have seen agree with what you say. The most prominent outlier that I know of was the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, which was drafted to include semi-auto only weapons. |

Re: Security Guard Kills Shooter Who Fired at Crowd Outside Alaskan Bar
You might be confusing the term with "assault weapon". While the term "assault rifle" is often a point of confusion, it is not a made-up concept and has a specific technical definition. The term "assault weapon," however, is a separate, legally defined category that often gets conflated with "assault rifle," leading to misunderstandings. The technical definition of an "assault rifle" An assault rifle is a military firearm with specific characteristics. According to the U.S. Army and firearms experts, an assault rifle must have: Selective-fire capability, meaning it can switch between semi-automatic (one shot per trigger pull) and fully automatic (continuous fire as long as the trigger is held) or burst-fire modes. An intermediate-power cartridge, which is more powerful than a pistol cartridge but less powerful than a standard rifle cartridge. A detachable box magazine to supply ammunition. An effective range of at least 300 meters (about 330 yards). The term itself is generally attributed to the German Sturmgewehr 44 (StG 44), developed during World War II, which translates to "assault rifle". This weapon is considered the first to popularize the assault rifle concept and established the template for modern military rifles. The two most well-known examples of modern assault rifles are the AK-47 and the M16. The distinction from "assault weapon" Much of the confusion arises from the term "assault weapon," which is a legal and political classification, not a technical one. In the United States, civilian ownership of fully automatic firearms—true assault rifles—has been tightly regulated since the National Firearms Act of 1934 and further restricted by the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986. The term "assault weapon" came into use in the 1980s and was notably defined in the now-expired 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban. This legislation classified certain semi-automatic firearms as "assault weapons" if they could accept a detachable magazine and had specific cosmetic features, such as: A folding or telescoping stock A pistol grip A bayonet mount A threaded barrel for attachments like flash suppressors A grenade launcher mount These features are primarily cosmetic and do not alter the semi-automatic function of the firearm. Civilian firearms like the AR-15 are often called "assault weapons" or incorrectly labeled "assault rifles," but they are semi-automatic and fire only one round per trigger pull, unlike their military counterparts (like the M16) which are select-fire. In summary, "assault rifle" is a legitimate, technically defined term for a select-fire military rifle. The idea that it is a "made-up concept" likely stems from its conflation with the more ambiguous and politically charged term "assault weapon," which refers to semi-automatic firearms with certain cosmetic features |
