doesn't matter what he used at this point. He committed murder.
The media is so focused in blaming US - the law abiding gun owners for this tragedy. Forget about an ideology. Forget that this guy was very unstable. Forget about all the laws he broke. We are to blame.  :crazy: :grrr: This is such a perversion of freedom.

"AR15" and "assault weapon" and "battlefield weapon of war" etc. etc. etc. are merely euphemisms for "all semi-automatic weapons" and then "all weapons".

Just like "commonsense gun safety regulations" is a euphemism for "civilian disarmament".

As an aside I see that "assault rifle" is the number one trending word at Merriam-Webster.com...
