Tom Diaz, anti-gunner of the Violence Policy Institute?
Some “expert”.
New Zealand's foremost firearm control Authority and "Gun Expert" here.
All you need to be an "expert" is an Opinion and far too much time on your hands. Anyone can do it -- Alpers has proven it!
It's the Violence Policy Center.
But yes, that's the dude. Ex staffer for Chuckles the Cereal Killer.
They, along with the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, Freedom States Alliance, Legal Community Against Violence, and States United to Prevent Gun Violence didn't take long to start dancing in the blood of the Alabama tragedy and calling for "the U.S. Congress to pass a federal assault weapons ban modeled on California’s effective law that would ban these weapons once and for all.
(Except for criminals who would buy smuggled in full auto AKs).
Man, I hope my AR kit, I've already got the stripped lower, arrives before the ban. Ditto the ammo and back up sights, I also have on order. Ammo is promissed to be shipped next week. Now I wish I'd ordered twice as much.
