The weapon he had in his trunk, unless I misunderstood the story, was not an assault rifle. Assault rifles have to have fully-automatic capabilities. Semi-automatic civilian variants, like the AR-15, are not any different functionally from a semi-automatic hunting rifle. They lack the disconnector and sear that is required for fully-automatic or burst-fire modes.
A civilian AR or AK variant is just a magazine-fed, semi-automatic, centerfire rifle. In fact, their ballistic performance is actually much less impressive than most hunting rifles.

1. The gunman used a pistol, not an assault rifle
The gunman had 4 guns, 2 pistols and an assault rifle, and another gun in his car.

There is no such thing as a sniper rifle. They're functionally identical to hunting rifles. A "sniper rifle" is really just a precision rifle with a high-powered scope. It's not any more deadly than its hunting counterparts. Most "sniper rifles" are based on hunting rifles. The M40 is based in the Remington 700 action. FN's precision rifles are based on the Winchester Model 70 action.
huh, you learn something new everyday i guess.
I never mentioned what type of gun he had in his car, i don't even know. As for the assault he had at school, hell it could have been a semiauto and not an assault, i'm not sure. I didn't even come here to argue the case, which i know very little about. /Tangent from the main discussion.
short research revealed it was in fact an assault rifle.
