Federal law enforcement has reported that the rifle used by the Orlando shooter to be a legally-purchased Sig Sauer MCX, which meets the statutory definition of 'semiautomatic assault weapon' per 18 U.S.C. § 921(a) and Public Law 103-322:

quote "The term 'semiautomatic assault weapon' means -- ... (B) a semiautomatic rifle that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of -- (i) a folding or telescoping stock; (ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; (iii) a bayonet mount; (iv) a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; and (v) a grenade launcher;"

In addition, Sig Sauer describes the MCX thus:

"... an innovative weapon system built around a battle-proven core."

"... stands as the first rifle to be silenced from the ground up. It also accepts a broad array of accessories, enabling you to build a complete weapon system for any scenario or environment."

I've seen some hand guns that would meet those specs.

Watch out for conspicuous grips.

Your opinions are noted. Point is, however, that you can't fault "MSM journalism" (or anyone else) for using the term 'semiautomatic assault weapon' in accordance with its established legal definition.

I just looked up18 U.S.C. § 921(a) at Cornell Law School's website and there is no such entry as you posted. Did I miss something?

Fair question. See Public Law 103-322 (1994), which amended 18 U.S.C. § 921(a). The link cited is a searchable copy from the Library of Congress.

I tried to get one of these when they first came out last year. Couldn't find one. Would be awesome in 9mm so I could suppress it. Why is everyone (mainstream media) saying the shooter used an AR-15?
