who claim the AR-15 is not an assault weapon [that James Holmes the 'alleged' Colo murderer used] you need to call the Colo police department and straighten them out because in every one of their live reports they're calling it an assault rifle.
Three of those weapons, including the shotgun and the assault rifle, he brought into the theater, according to Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates. A single shooter with three high-powered guns: It’s hardly shocking that the massacre took the lives of 12 and injured 58 others.

The chief admitted it was beyond his team’s scope of calculation, limiting his confirmation only to “many, many rounds.”

He is thought to have purchased and used an aftermarket high-capacity magazine for the assault rifle, a clip capable of launching “50 to 60 rounds, even if it was semiautomatic, within one minute,” Oates said. But this, too, was legal – a prior ban on such magazines, under the federal assault weapon ban, expired in 2004.
