There is so much wrong with this article that I don't know where to begin. Our military's standard issue is the AK-47? And it is "highly accurate" from a half-mile? And that Malvo an Mohammed were shooting from 500 yards?
And even worse is that the editor and "fact checker" were even more ignorant than the writer!

Ask what you'll need to purchase a semi-automatic military-style sniper rifle like the one used by John Allen Muhammad and John Lee Malvo to kill 10 people during their 2002 Washington, D.C.-area murder spree.I wanna call up my local car dealership & ask what I need to bring in order to purchase a nice big car, you know just like the one that old man in Californina used to run down & kill 10 people in that open air market?

So so wrong.
The AR-15 Bushmaster could never be mistaken for an AK-47. It's like saying the F-16 is a knockoff of the Japanese Zero.
And if you can kill someone from 900 yards with an AK then you must be firing straight down on them from a 900 yard high cliff.

"Our military's standard issue is the AK-47?" The author probably means that his army is equipped with AK-47's.

Like hearing a 3 year old give a lecture on superstring theory.
Though less funny, cause these people are dangerous about our rights.

Our military's standard issue is the AK-47?Don't forget, this is a "journalist"; our armed forces are not the same as his. His "our" is the PRC or NK army.

Typical unfounded scare tactics. FWIW, I went to a gun show a few weeks ago and bought a rifle. The guy turned out to be a licensed dealer. I filled out the usual federal forms and noted that the social security number is now optional. The guy took the form and my driver's license and went off to a phone. In about five minutes he was back with the approval.
The antis would have you believe that gun shows are weapons bazaars for terrorists. Not true. Not to mention it's common knowledge, at least for those who know the truth, they're cruised by the ATF.

This was published? Bushmaster = AK-47? Bushmaster deadly at almost 900 yards? I used to shoot 40 of 40 in the Army and I don't think I could do that with an M-16.
Come to think of it, Malvo was an idiot for having that be his weapon of choice for a sniper rifle. He could have done much better with a cheap 30.06.

"You have a driver's license?" said the man at the Long Island store I called yesterday to ask about buying the assault rifle known as the Bushmaster XM-15. "Sure," I said, "but what else do I need to bring?"
I was thinking paperwork - perhaps to verify my clean criminal record, my relative sanity, the lack of any documented connections between myself and al-Qaida.
Uh, dude, the Brady background check covers that part - you know, the process that you anti-gunners demanded a few years back. Now you pretend it doesn't even exist. But, then again, what else can you expect from a nitwit who believes that the AK-47 is the military's standard rifle?

The Bushmaster, a version of the military's standard AK-47 rifle, was the kind of gun they had in mind: highly accurate, extremely deadly from almost a half-mile away. There's half a mile between this guys brain and his head. And the network connection is extremely lousy.

Pick up the Yellow Pages and go to "Guns." Call the first gun store you find. Ask what you'll need to purchase a semi-automatic military-style sniper rifle like the one used by John Allen Muhammad and John Lee Malvo to kill 10 people during their 2002 Washington, D.C.-area murder spree.

OMG......... Thanks for the laugh, this guy wouldn't know an AK-47 from a can WD-40!!

Aside from the obvious errata in this diatribe, this is just another example of some fusspot journalist who will write anything to justify his own personal agenda.
Sadly, most people are so misinformed or choose to remain ignorant that this kind of crap is believed by a large percentage of the public. Perhaps we need to start lobbying for a 'Truth in Journalism' law...

What's really fascinating is that he starts out with an illustration intended to point out how weak the so-called "Assault Weapons Ban" is, and then goes on to say that it needs to be renewed. If it's so useless, what's the point in renewing it?
