Yes, but that wouldnt be as sensational to report the news as "someone use a semi-automatic rifle today blah blah blah"
Or "a lone gunman with a semi-automatic pistol"
It's more sensational to say an "assault rifle" or an "automatic handgun", because the media knows that the majority of people that watch the news are blithering idiots and will believe just about anything that it put before them.
