Here's something to ponder.
Reporting on the Crandon event, the Milwaukee JS reporters talk about the weapon Peterson used to kill 5 and wound 1:
In the aftermath of six murders by a Forest County sheriff's deputy and Crandon police officer - likely with his department-issued semiautomatic rifle
Curious phrasing, as in other contexts, that would be an "ASSAULT RIFLE." (Cue scary music.) You know--the kind of rifle that citizens should not be able to purchase.
Think it's because the JS editors are being more careful with terminology?

Unless this is priming the audience for "Semi-automatic Weapon = Assault Weapon" ideology.
