Sorry for double posting. The Liberal News Media and some of the Nations Police Departments are putting out eroneous information about weapons. To think a Chief of Police doesnt know what an assault weapon is or maybe he is just being PC!

I agree that an "Assault Rifle" is a military machine gun, but the feds have defined it as something else in federal law. So legally they were right, but that doesn't make them any smarter.

Link to U.S. Code here Title 18 Section 921

The only thing that surprises me about the media today is when they get something right.

I was a little surprised that James Chambers said this:

That particular bullet when it hits has a tendency as it enters to do some tumbling or rolling, which creates a great deal of mass, energy, and force.

This is some very interesting physics. Some of these firearms experts are doing our cause more harm than good.

Just more misinformation put for ward by the anti gun crowd and people who don;t know a thing about weapons but want most people to think that owning and useing firearms in a bad thing.

Eventually, someone will call it an 'insult' rifle!;~)
