be Ban under the import ban.

Okay, the AK-47 and the Uzi won't be imported, that's right.

But I bought a weapons LIKE the AK last year, and you can buy a weapon LIKE the uzi from Vector.

Uma Pimaranju(sp) reported in the "between the news" news blurbs the information posted above.  I nearly had a heart attack! They finally got it right.

SOB! Britt Hume just said that none of the guns effected by the ban will spray bullets like a machine gun! They are indeed GETTING IT!

I think the point is An UZI, the real deal is full auto, and AK the real deal is full auto. And we really don't want people to belive these where part of the AWB.

I think some of our EMs may have struck a chord with them. Seems like their reporting on the AWB has changed throughout the day.

I'm told that Fox does seem to be more conservative-friendly than the others. I never watch the others, so I don't know.

The wifez0r was speaking w/one of the wifez0r friends who mimicked one of the news reports and brought up the Uzi.  The wifez0r just straightlaced, "The Uzi?  It's very nice, quite reliable...if we had enough money we'd probably have one."  The friend was in near-shock, "The Uzi?"  "Yes, the Uzi, have you ever fired one?  I have....I've been trained on it.  There's a good reason the Secret Service have used it so much.  But the TV report is misleading though and they have no idea what they're talking about...[then goes on to spread the truth]"

I liked the film footage earlier on FOX showing the Cop trying to shoot the TEC-9, it'd fail to feed about every 3rd. round, so much for being a "bullet hose", LOL.

Funniest thing was, during Neil Cavuto's program, there was footage of some cops with a TEC9. The footage showed the gun jamming twice, the cop removed the magazine, shook a round loose, replaced the mag, recocked the action and finally the POS fired.  They had this footage in a loop, so it played twice.  I was in tears over the "deadly assault weapon".
