Part of the problem is the amount of disinformation and misunderstanding of the weapons being used in these crimes.  The expired Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act (Assault Weapons Ban) of 1994 (Dianne Feinstein) intentionally introduced the term ASSAULT WEAPON to define those weapons that were being restricted (essentially, anything capable of Semi-Automatic fire).  The term ASSAULT RIFLE had previously (since the 1930s) been used to define weapons capable of Automatic fire.  

Mr. Hodgkinson did not use an ASSAULT RIFLE during his shooting spree.
