The subject includes the claim people are buying "assault rifles" which of course isn't true. automatic firing weapons are illegal.
What they are buying is simply rifles, shotguns, handguns. But if it is black, and has a hand grip on it, It's an "Assault rifle" in those moron's eyes.
I know. (Big sigh.) Ignorance seems to be ruling the day-—even in Missoula, Montana.
