"And according to a survey by the non-partisan National Annenberg Election Survey at the University of Pennsylvania, 57 percent of people with a gun in their household are OK with banning the weapons, which became popular with criminals because they are designed to be shot from the hip and to fire many rounds in rapid succession."


SAY WHAT??? I hope the author goes into a gunshop and tries to buy a fully automatic UZI or AK-47 on tuesday morning. Boy, are they in for a suprise!

I do that with all guns.
Granted I have to stop and reload more often with a 38 handgun...
I am a "point and shoot" kind of person, and that's how I practice.
All due respect to hunters and snipers, it's kind of stupid to pretend self-defense type gun owners like myself don't understand the role fear and adrenaline would play in a real world situation.
I won't ever win any formal target competitions, but I can dance a can with a 22 long for as many times as I have loaded rounds.
Gun control is being able to hit your target!
And yeah, I duct taped my banana clips together...LOL!
