Dallas Police Found 15 Assault Rifles in a Suspected Illegal Immigrant's Car Yesterday

Crooks do bad things.

I think not. More than likely just semi auto clones of the AK-47 rifle. No more dangerous than any semi auto rifle like this one.

Generally, it's a bad idea to draw any conclusions from the photos used to illustrate gun-related articles - unless they're unmistakeably taken for that article in specific...

The 'undocumented gun dealer' did not have an early, original, probably full-auto milled-receiver military issue AK-47, photographed in a nice side view with high grade lighting and photo quality.

Is your photo from the police record of this event- the particular rifle featured and the photo quality say no.

It's like posting a photo of Joseph Stalin and claiming that it IS Joe Smith from down the block.

This is misleading, sloppy jounalism.

I highly doubt that your pic is a full auto AK-47.

you know, so that the NRA can sell more weapons to scared white people ...

one by one and verfied that they are machine guns?

If it's not a machine gun, it's not an "assault rifle".

So an undocumented gun dealer had a bunch of rifles... big deal. He must have tried to get an FFL several times and failed due to the hassle. Most importantly, though, he's just working to support his family.

And he's an undocumented driver.

And he's an undocumented immigrant. Heck, if he's in the drug selling business, he's probably also an undocumented pharmaceutical manufacturer, an undocumented business owner, an undocumented (fill in the blank)... What a bunch of suckers the medical and pharmaceutical industries are here- they should just totally choose to ignore the FDA while claiming sacred, unanswerable 'undocumented' status. Regulatory Affairs, Quality Assurance? Go home- we're going 'undocumented'!

I notice a pattern of contempt for, and abuse of, our law; fortunately for the suspect, as an undocumented immigrant, nobody can even think to raise such questions. Wow- wouldn't it be fun to operate like that, picking and choosing which laws to obey?

At least the probable cause wasn't DWB due to the illegal turn and seat belt.

Anyhow, let's get to the true purpose of this 'story':

* To evolve the connotation of 'assault weapon' to include common, semi-automatic rifles.
* To condition the electorate to tolerate, ignore, or support future semi auto gun ban drives.

...you're against illegal immigrants?

Drop a little news here and there, continue on... forget it even happened.
My dog would act that way on a good walk.
