From Racer X..... Not the drug overdose everyone suspected..
On September 15, 2018, a female victim walked into the front lobby of Rampart Area (police) station and advised the officers that the suspect, later identified as Tyler Evans, was now outside of the Rampart Station armed with a firearm. The victim further advised the officers that on September 14, 2018, she filed a Domestic Violence report naming Evans as the suspect.
Rampart uniformed officers along with a Rampart supervisor responded to the front of the station, contacted Evans and attempted to apprehend him. Evans refused to comply with the officers' directions, resulting in the deployment of a 40mm less lethal munition. Evans then reached into his pant pocket, retrieved a handgun and suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

"Rampart" sounds like a Hood queens style ghetto cop shop. I though he was from Nor Cal or was living down in Corona moto area?
The Shop
I can't vouch for the tragic way things ended for him. I don't get it, and don't understand it. But I can see offering sympathy to his family and friends, who are likely suffering while trying to make sense of the loss, and how it all ended.
Also, enjoy your vacation.

"The AR in “AR-15” rifle stands for ArmaLite rifle, after the company that developed it in the 1950s. “AR” does NOT stand for “assault rifle” or “automatic rifle.” AR-15-style rifles are NOT “assault weapons” or “assault rifles.” An assault rifle is fully automatic — a machine gun."
GuyB I really think you “jumped the gun” on banning that guy for responding to an ignorant comment from you.
I never said AR stood for assault rifle.
In general, what classification would the gun shown above fall into?
I'm also moving this to the Dumbgeon...
Your "irony" comment is just as ridiculous.
Are you suggesting that Brownstone is pleased with Evans' action, or that Brownstone is predisposed to similar behavior simply based off his avatar?
Later you comment "if there is enough left to study" with regards to Evans' brain is quite a bit more uncouth than anything the poster said. Perhaps you need a vacation.
In his avatar it clearly says "AR-15" and you said his avatar had an "assault rifle." I was just putting two and two together is all. . The AR-15 falls under the "sporting rifle" category. The purpose is for people who shoot at targets or clays as a hobby. Many times people don't use things for their intended purpose though. That's all I'm saying.
From the Wikipedia page for the AR-15, "In 1956, ArmaLite designed a lightweight assault rifle for military use and designated it the ArmaLite Rifle-15, or AR-15". The term 'modern sporting rifle' was coined by the NRA in 2009.
In one final ironic twist, it would seem that the people using it for shooting targets or clays are actually the ones who aren't using it for the intended purpose.
Anyways, carry on...
Sorry, and one last thing from dictionary.com: "assault rifle 1. a military rifle capable of both automatic and semiautomatic fire, utilizing an intermediate-power cartridge; 2. a nonmilitary weapon modeled on the military assault rifle, usually modified to allow only semiautomatic fire."
So yes, by definition an AR-15 is an assault rifle no matter what connotations you think that definition implies.
