Maybe an assault rifle is defined as a rifle used in an assault...
What was the type of rifle used?
an sks
it was an sks, which is just a semi-auto rifle, but the press loves to call it an 'assault rifle'.
No pistol grip.
No detachable mag.
10 round capacity.
Doesn't fit the brady bunch definition of 'assault rifle', but hell, let's call it one anyway!
Dahmer got the death penalty alright. Just not from the state.
It's Hmong. (From Southeast Asia)
Now the Wisconsin taxpayers will get doubly screwed, paying for this upcoming media circus trial, paying for Hmong translators and for Chai Vang's lifetime room and board in prison
He had to upgrade. The Deer are now equipped with semi automatic antlers.
I did not see the make of rifle. SKS is an assault rifle, but there are lots of rifles that hold 3 or more cartridges. Do we know it was SKS? SKS is a piece of crap: kind of a Saturday-night-special rifle.
That will not make any difference to the gun grabbers. The shootings could have been done with a single shot rifle and they would still want all hunters (and everyone else) disarmed.
From my cold, dead hand...
But all ethnic groups have their deviants and nut cases.
(um...that's kinda blatantly obvious...and stuff.)
I wonder if he had one of those funny coned hats on.
Why can't he catch deer with a pit full of punji sticks.
I read somewhere it was an SKS. It's a good,cheap poor man's deer rifle. Put a 5 round , hunt legal clip in it and
you've got a cheap 100 yard woods rifle for deer.
I got one .
With eight hunters shot, plus one murderer, surely the press can work in the word "arsenal."
you got a way with words. good point.
The SKS is NOT an assault rifle by any definition of the word.
The SKS is cheap not because it is poorly made, but because they were made by the millions in commbloc countries and they are now being sold in the US because they are no longered needed in their original countries.
The be careful when you get in your 'assault car' and use your 'assault knife' to cut up your dinner tonight'. And make sure your kids don't have any dangerous 'assault bats' in the garage.
Oh, and forget about those 'assault hammers'. Throw them out now. It's for the children.
SKS 7.62 mm semiautomatic rifle
