“Witnesses: Semi-automatic gunfire dominated biker shootout in Waco”

Indeed. Because only police have semi-automatic firearms; no doubt the bikers were only using single-shot muzzle loaders.

Well, the article did say the police only found one assault weapon, locked in a car, afterwards.

Do you have other info?

And what kind of biker comes in a car? Are they sure it belonged to a Bandido, or just some guy with a rifle in his trunk?

They may have only found one “assault” weapon, but how many semi-automatic handguns were found on the bikers?

Are assault rifles the only semi-auto weapons out there? What about Glock 43s?

Sec. 46.05. PROHIBITED WEAPONS. (a) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally or knowingly possesses, manufactures, transports, repairs, or sells:
(1) an explosive weapon;
(2) a machine gun;
(3) a short-barrel firearm;
(4) a firearm silencer;
(5) knuckles;
(6) armor-piercing ammunition;
(7) a chemical dispensing device;
(8) a zip gun; or
(9) a tire deflation device.


Funny, this is the closest I can find in penal code about illegal weapons. And if you go further above in the chapter, I don't see any definition of 'assault weapon'. Pretty sure they don't exist in Texas.
