It's frustrating that the two people on this board who seem to share my opinion on gun control refuse to enter any disscusion about it. :/
I'll make this my last post in this thread so that it can resume its true purpose. Speak up Ronnie.
"Military-type" would classify as any semi-automatic or automatic weapon I believe. That would most definitely extend to asault weapons.
Its funny that there is a direct proportion of actual usage in crime to "dangerousness" of a weapon. According to the FBI, people have a much greater chance of being killed by a knife or a blunt object than by any kind of rifle, including an "assault rifle." In Chicago, the chance is 67 times greater.*
