I own a so called assault rifle. It is semiautomatic, clip fed, although I do not have any large capacity clips. One shot, one kill, I don't see a need for one. The main reason it is classified as a so called assault rifle is that it has a fixed bayonet. To the moron who wrote the article.... a “fixed” bayonet is a large knife that is physically affixed to the rifle. So THIS rifle is considered REALLY, REALLY dangerous because it is also a KNIFE!!!

Idiots who know NOTHING about guns should not write articles about them.

When you say Idiots who NOTHING about guns should not write articles about them.

That Should include you, sorry if I sound harsh but you have a magazine fed Semi-Automatic rifle. I get so tired of people who think they are gun people replace the word clip for a magazine... Clips help you load magazines!! Sorry about the rant but I doesn't help the the Cause if you can't properly name the parts of a weapon. I'll not be replying if you chose to send back a negative reply.

If you think I'm quibbling, tell me there's no difference between a lightning bug or a bolt of lightning landing on your head. We're trying to educate the public on the definition of an "assault weapon" (a weapon capable of fully automatic fire), so words matter.

You mean it has a mounting place that allows a bayonet to be fixed, don’t you? Cuz it sounded like it has a bayonet attached that you can’t take off, and my cousin’s AR-15 didn’it.
