om...

The guy takes off and maybe someone fired a shot or even close to him
(no doubt wrong but NOT cold blooded murder). Then the guy with the
violence history snaps and takes them all down with his semi auto (why
the **** is he hunting with an assault weapon???? Isnt that one
against him?). shots in the back, dying people finished and all.

Can you provide the definition of an assault weapon? I keep hearing the term
"military style assault weapon" in the media and by gun control proponents
but, I don't understand the difference between a Remington Model 1200
carried by a civilian and a member of the armed forces. One is a hunting
weapon and the other is killing weapon.

good point. I dont think there isnt , but ask in rec.guns.

There are however semi auto rifles which are very suitable to fire
lots of controlled rounds in short time, suitable for combat and there
are semi auto rifles which arent. This is no black and white criteria
though...

If one hunts with an i.e. AR15 I would say he is hunting with an
assault rifle ..
