To this day I've yet to find a decent definition of an assault weapon. HCaps wikipedia link certainly didn't help his case...
An assault rifle is a rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge, has the capacity to switch between semiautomatic/fully automatic fire and a detachable magazine.[1] Assault rifles are currently the standard service rifles in most modern armies.
Using that definition I honestly don't think an assault weapon has been used in ANY mass shooting to date. Maybe that bank robbery in California back in the mid 90s?
