Interesting quote from the 3rd debate by Kerry
Kerry quote: ""I was hunting in Iowa last year with a sheriff from one of the counties there, and he pointed to a house in back of us, and said, "See the house over? We just did a drug bust a week earlier, and the guy we arrested had an AK-47 lying on the bed right beside him.""
Seems to me the ban he wanted extended was already in affect a year ago, so this re-affirms that it had little or no effect on criminals.
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I cannot recall when a real, automatic, AK-47 was used during a crime in the United States.
