Once solely found in the hands of soldiers, high-powered assault weapons like the one believed to have been used in Thursday's attack are becoming the guns of choice for gang members and other violent criminals.

Once again, the media lies. Assault weapons that soldiers use are full -auto. You cannot buy or own these without a costly permit and vetting process.

Semi-auto weapons, which exist in the millions in this country as hunter's weapons of choice, are not assault weapons because they "look" military. Any semi-auto deer rifle would do exactly the same amount of damage (and don't--unless you're a deer).
