Did he really say that to the caller? There was a story he did couple of weeks ago about an Ethiopian at a college somewhere wh had bought an AK-47 and ammo. His roommates turned him in and in Hugh's comments on the story (talking about "Sudden Jihad Syndrome") he called the AK an "assault weapon".
As brilliant as he is on Constitutional Law (and he is brilliant) I can't believe he confused a semi-automatic rifle that can only fire a SINGLE round with each trigger pull with an assault rifle which fires MULTIPLE rounds with each trigger pull.
It's bad enough that we have to fight the Marxist Democrats about our Second Amendment freedom but we've also got to keep correcting the uninformed views of guys like Hugh Hewitt too.
