More irony about the author: Tim Murphy is a senior reporter at Mother Jones. Reach him at tmurphy@motherjones.com. Tim Murphy is also the name of our disgraced ex-congress critter who was forced to resign because he got caught with his pants down.
I sure hope the heavens open up and it is written in the clouds for all to see: THE AR15 IS NOT AN ASSAULT RIFLE... It is NOT a weapon of war!
