""Military-type" would classify as any semi-automatic or automatic weapon I believe. That would most definitely extend to asault weapons."

It's automatic.

"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.*

Thanks for the fact.

It's not liiegal to own an automatic weapon. All you have to do is get a BATF license and a 6 month ATF and FBI background check.

Personally, I don't have a use for one because I don't think it's necessary for self defense. So I would have to say that I agree with Bush.

It you really feel like you need one, you can still get one if you pass the background check.
