Reporters love using the term "asault rifle." So much so that after the Virginia Tech shooting they called Cho's Glock an "assault pistol" even though the Glock is by far the most common police handgun in America. Whatever sells papers, I guess.
Uncle has the latest, in which an AR-15 is an assault rifle when in the hands of citizens, but a "patrol rifle" when used by a police. You've heard the story this week of a spurned deputy who went nuts and used his department-issued AR-15 to kill six people? CNN is calling his AR-15 a "police-style" rifle.
