'He intended to kill more': Monterey mass shooter slaughtered 10 with magazine-fed semi-automatic pistol and wanted to continue murder spree before heroes wrestled weapon away: Huu Can Tran, 72, took his life with handgun during police standoff

The gunman who slaughtered 10 people during Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations in Monterey, California was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the van he used to flee after his attempt at a second shooting that was thwarted by 'hero' patrons.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna identified the gunman as 72-year-old Huu Can Tran. He added the motive for the attack is still unclear.
'He intended to kill more people,' Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said in a news conference. Sunday night. 'They saved lives,' he said of the patrons. 'This could've been much worse.'
The weapon suspected to have been used in the mass shooting was a magazine-fed semi-automatic assault pistol, which was also found in the van, Luna said.

Luna is allegedly the LA County Sheriff. He should understand what the term "assault" means when it applies to a military rifle (select-fire) and what the term does NOT mean when it applies to a pistol caliber carbine or even a semi-automatic pistol with an extended magazine, which is what the perp used.
God help us all. Even the dumbass sheriff of LA County doesn't know what the term "assault" means. :whatever:

I'm a bit confounded whenever I hear the term "assault weapon". Like, is a weapon supposed to not be for assault?

That's by design of the leftist scum who intentionally belabor and pretzelate the "term"...

For most law-abiding citizens, a weapon is DEFENSIVE in nature when used. No "assault" intended, except by the anti-gun mob who keep gravitating toward that term. They deliberately use that word to inflame, obfuscate, lie, and misrepresent.
