It's refreshing to see the above comments. Facts should always be used to counter emotion masked as knowledge.

The AR-15 is not an assault rifle. An assult rifle must be automatic capable by definition.

The M16 is not a considered a semi automatic as it's most important characteristic is it's ability to be set to full automatic.

I do not know the writer of this article but I will give him the benefit of the doubt...for now. Jack Baillargeron above calls for the article to be corrected.

I'll wait and see if that happens...but I won't be holding my breath.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
