Believe me, I haven’t given over to the any of the media’s opinions about
firearms because unlike you and me, they usually don’t own any. And while it might be fair to designate, say, a modified full-auto M4A3 or an after-market AK47 as “assault weapons” I am adamantly opposed to any restrictions on their sale to anyone who isn’t a criminal or crazy.
Whew! OK, I'll put my safty back on. ;-D
