Idiocy of the this guy aside, was the term “assault rifle” actually used correctly by a mass media outlet? This might be a first....

Why the high price? What features does one get in the $50K price range?

While we’re rolling on the subject, the difference between semi automatic, automic and assult weapon might be explained here.

I’ve fired an M4, a SCAR, a Glock and a rifle, the name of which I forget.

Couldn’t tell you which was which, though.

Yep,they got it right.An M-16 is select fire so it really is an assault rifle.The price on these weapons has really gone crazy in the last few years.I paid 1600 bucks for my M16A1 back in 1992.I think I should have bought another dozen or so.

Was wondering what used to cost just over a grand for a factory new M16 x costs now...

On July 5, Whiteside purchased the rifle, ammunition, a rifle bag and a silencer at a Miami gun shop and then went for a workout at the University of Miami, leaving his Rolls unlocked.

Something very fishy here.
No one walks into a gun store and comes out with a select- fire weapon AND suppressor, I don't care how much money they went in with.

They would be told, "Thank you for your money, we'll call you in a year when the paperwork comes through, and you can come back for your purchase."

I hope this will be a lesson to all of us. Never leave your Rolls unlocked when stowing a $50K rifle. I sure won't.
