The first is renewal of the current ban on certain assault weapons -- weapons needed by no one except criminals.

Does the Post do any research at all, or is the Ed board just a mouthpiece for the anti-gun crowd? Criminals don't favor these weapons, but lots of gun fanatics like myself do. Perhaps the Post thinks criminal means anyone who owns a gun.
