A genuine waste of time... [View all]

...encouraging only division and undue media coverage. That's what I call an "assault weapons ban".

The prior ban had no effect on the sale of weapons functionally identical to those named and/or described. When will some politicians learn that the terminology remains undefined? Further attempts to "adjust" the definition only serves to highlight the fact that, aside from the prior definition being wrong, those making the adjustments are either insufficiently experienced with the weapons in question or just grandstanding for attention. Or both??

In the meantime the fire of debate will continue with the flames fed by politicians who are by analogy shoveling coal (or something) on the blaze and the media providing all the oxygen needed.
