The article reminds me of a picture in one of my WW II history books. It shows a ranger springing from cover, and in his right hand is an M-1 Garand. He is holding it back of the trigger guard, and parallel in front of him. Well, the Garand must be an assault rifle if a ranger is using it to attack the enemy. By the way, how many people, even for a moment, would be able to grasp a Garand by the pistol grip of the stock and raise it off the ground?

"The other “assault weapon” charge Avino picked up was for a Hi-Point pistol-caliber carbine, arguably one of the ugliest and ungainly firearms known to man."

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I personally think my Hi-Point carbines are beautiful.

It worked at Columbine.
