9. Well...
Neither therapist that i have seen has identified any disorders in me. Thereby making me apprently sane. But then again, I'd love to see more so called "assault weapons" around. Specifically the ones made by heckler and koch, those buggers are expensive!

I love the catch phrase "on the street". As if the only place "sport-utility rifles" are found is "on the street" with all the hoods and gangmembers. Please. The only place there are "assault weapons" "on the street", is in Robocop! (They have .50 BMG's on the street in robocop aswell, just FYI)

The "brady campaign to prevent reasonable discourse" likes to throw around the terms "uzi" and "ak-47".
Hoping to conjure up pictures of gangsters leaning out of cars and riddling playgrounds with 900 rounds a minute from their full auto uzi, or terrorists running around terrorizing with their full auto assault rifles.
Please. A legal, semi auto uzi, is at least 26 inches long. Not something you stick in your pocket. Plus they'll cost you at least $1500.
Yeh, i am sure they'll go to gunstores and pay that, rather then just buying a cheap handgun from their drug dealer and snorting the rest up their nose. For a legal full auto Uzi, you're looking at at least $4000. But criminals obviously dont care about doing things legally. Thats why they're criminals. So the assault weapons ban didnt really bother them did it? (Or have you failed to note, that all the really nasty shootings happened after the ban passed?)

Ak-47's are cheap, but just to damn big to be of intrest to your common street thug. I'm sorry, but there are a lot more AK-47's sitting in collectors gun cabnets then floating around on the streets.

Hell, I'd rather get shot with an ak-47 then a hunting rifle if you want the truth. But i dont imagine either would be to much fun.

Anyways, all this talk about ak-47s and uzi's, well, it just sounds bad. Why dont they ever talk about all the other guns they banned?

Like the Steyr AUG, or the, or the Ar70 or the AR-15 or the FAL or the Galil? Arent these assault weapons just as deadly as the uzi or ak-47? Or is the truth that they just dont sound as "scary"?

Death to the 94 crime bill, next on the agenda, the poison pill in the 1986 FOPA.

Damn it's good to be on the offensive for once.
