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.

Two places to look, both valid:
NRA website
FBI website
Both will give you all the info you need, including stats on how many people were saved by guns.
