Well, how convenient.

"Gunman used AK-47 to fire on crowd, police say"...

There's your headline on CNN, with "Miami concerned about Assault Weapons" below it.

Anybody want to place a wager now on how long before Obama reinstates the assault weapons ban?

Because, if assault weapons were illegal, this shooting that's on the front of CNN would have surely been prevented...(1) the law abiding guy that committed the crime would never have broken the law by carrying an illegal AK-47, and (2) crazy dude couldn't have done it with a Marlin model 60 .22 rifle that he bought at Wal-Mart for 100 bucks. The type of weapon, after all, is what enables the crime to be committed. It has nothing to do with the person attached to the finger on the trigger.



Give me a break. I'm not saying that an AK-47 serves any sporting purpose...and it may not have any place in the hands of certain people...but GUNS don't kill people. PEOPLE kill people. Whether it's a bazooka, a .22 rifle, or a stick whittled to a point on the end - All can be used as an instrument of death if the PERSON holding it wishes it so. The type of gun matters not.

Sorry to rant, but I hate this crap.
