Original Note:
AP suggests newsrooms use the term “semi-automatic rifle” when referring to a rifle that fires once for each trigger pull and reloads automatically for the next shot. Newsrooms should avoid the terms “assault rifle,” “assault weapon,” as they “are highly politicized terms". https://journalistsresource.org/criminal-justice/gun-things-journalists-should-know/
