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...

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 .

SKS is an assault rifle,

No, it isn't. "Assault rifles" are selective fire. The SKS is semi-auto only.

Have you ever owned one? I have two. Both are excellent shooting rifles.

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.

True of some Chicom rifles; NOT true of Russian, Yugoslavian, and East German.
