no wonder CNN doesn't have a clue -

(and the DU thread - http://www.democraticunderground.com/duforum/DCForumID32/1954.html at least a pro-gun member their rips the article as it should be)
Look at some of the horrid spelling / phonetic mistakes (and they call it 'journalism') -
[b]"Sterm Kever" -- or assault rifle.[/b]
[b]Assault rifles were created solely to kill people; today, those people are often law enforcement officers. Forty-one of the 211 U.S. police officers killed in the line of duty between 1998 and 2001 were murdered with assault rifles, according to a new analysis by the Violence Policy Center.[/b]
Anybody read that study - I hear they included several types / models of weapons not even included in the AWB, OR normally included in the rubric 'Assault Weapon' (which is a bullshit term, anyway).
[b]The NRA leadership insists the right to own a gun accorded Americans in the Second Amendment extends to any and all guns, even those that fire off 30 rounds in less than two seconds and murder innocent children.[/b]
Hum. must be under the usual delusion that the AWB has ANYTHING to do with FULL-AUTO weapons. Anybody know anyone that can fire 30 semi-auto shots in 2secs??
Anyway, usual uninformed, exaggerated crapola.
