Why do they have to use the term "Assault Rifles"? If I assault somebody with a BIC pen does it become and 'Assault Pen"? Sounds like someone knew they had a gun collection and wanted to expand their own. Shots to the head?
Assault rifles missing after 2 men found shot execution style in South Hill residence
Various weapons were also found inside the residence

SOUTH HILL -
Two men were found dead in a South Hill home Monday in a double homicide, said Ed Troyer of the Pierce County Sheriff's Department. Both men were shot in the head, execution style, and investigators say a half dozen assault rifles and handguns are missing from the scene.
The victims have been identified as Jeffrey Poling, 36, of Spanaway and Travis Dennis, 32, of Puyallup. The Pierce County Medical Examiner said on Tuesday that the cause of death was homicide.
The victims' bodies were found in the same room by the father of one of the victims, who arrived at the house on 175th Street Court East about 9 a.m. In addition to the weapons, a computer is missing from the home.
There did not appear to be a struggle before the shooting, investigators said.
"There are two things at play here," Troyer said. "These are acquaintances of the victims or they let them in knowingly without any type of struggle because the shooting occurred in the back room and it doesn't look like there was a big fight or anything that occurred."
The bodies were found lying side by side in a back room. Exotic, high-powered weapons including an AK-47 and AR-15 were missing from the scene.
"There are ballistic vests, lots of weapons, ammo, gun cases laying around the living room and other parts of the house," Troyer said.
The investigation is only just beginning, Troyer added. It is clear, however, that the victims were very good friends, and that the home was rented by Dennis from his father. Poling was described as a gun enthusiast who spent a lot of time at the range.
