Reply #4: Another lie written by a reporter to mislead gun-grabbers and others ignorant about such things. [View All]

Jay Dietrich, 25, a petty officer in the US Navy, from Pennsylvania, has brought his M15 assault rifle down to the range.

A fearsome-looking weapon, it is the same as the M16 used by the military, except for the fact that it is not fully automatic.

A reporter desiring to write on the topic should learn that a rifle that is "not fully automatic" is not an "assault rifle".

It's also not an "assault weapon" because neither the Federal code nor Texas statues define an "assault weapon".
