Exactly- it's just a ruse to push her agenda a little further.
BTW, just an offhand comment from me? This article is sprinkled with the usual half-truths, distorsions, and fear-pandering we have all come to know, love, and expect from the mainstram press. I am a trained shooter- if ( and that is the big if ) I were so inclined, I could take a common skeet or trap gun and a haversack of shells, and do more damage to a crowd of people than a slob with a machine gun could. They convieniently don't mention such a fact, since they are trying to instill a fear of scary-looking guns.
That's what they'll go after next.....incrimentalism is their game.
