***military-style semiautomatic assault weapons,***

I wasn’t aware that the military was using semiautomatic weapons. I thought they were full auto.

Exactly. These are semi-automatic rifles, NOT assault weapons, which are fully automatic.

I wonder how many cops were killed in high-speed pursuits these past four years?

How many cops were murdered with their own weapons after a criminal or group of criminals wrested the officer’s firearm away from him during a fight?

I also wonder how many civilians were saved when they used one of these weapons to confront an armed intruder? There are no statistics when a citizen is saved, only when a citizen is murdered.

The M-9 9mm handgun springs immediately to mind.
