Ambiguity in article

[edit]

I know there are three references (only one in English) but the statement "The shell casings found at the crime scene belonged to an assault rifle, which is a weapon often used by organized crime. But the motive behind the assassination remains unknown." is misleading. Even though stated in the English reference, "The shell casings found at the crime scene belonged to an assault rifle" is ambiguous and should be removed from the article. "Assault rifle" cannot be defined properly. Also "which is a weapon often used by organized crime" is more emotion than fact and is even more ambiguous given that "assault rifle" cannot be defined properly. I recommend that the above quote be shortened to just "The motive behind the assassination remains unknown" Stretch0069 (talk) 16:22, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You may be right. I didn't see the term assault rifle as an agenda for fear... I guess it depends from what background we have and how they say it. Here in Mexico they use the term a lot because the cartels use all kinds of "assault rifles," and it's easier and more practical to call it that than listing them. Most people aren't even familiar with all the kinds of guns, so the term may probably be fit.

In my opinion, the authors wrote that assault rifles were involved because that would mean that organized crime is probably behind the killing. Regular citizens in Mexico cannot own assault rifles legally. Good day :) ComputerJA (talk) 21:28, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
