AP tells journalist NOT to use made up term "Assault Rifle"… Hell freezing over yet AGAIN…
The Associated Press (AP) has issued new guidance advising journalists to avoid the terms 'assault rifle' and 'assault weapon,' deeming them factually incorrect and overly politicized. The AP now recommends using 'semi-automatic rifle' for firearms that fire one round per trigger pull and reload automatically. This change acknowledges that the popular media terms often misrepresent the actual function of AR or AK-style rifles designed for civilian use.
