Default RE: The lies about the "Assaul Weapon" ban

Hello,
So there's no misconception about what this ban actually limits (until tomorrow anyways), this is the official guidelines of the so called "assault weapon" according to <http://www.awbansunset.com/whatis.html>

An "assault weapon" is a semi-automatic firearm that can accept a detachable magazine and two or more of the following features: Folding or telescopic stock, Pistol grip protruding conspicuously beneath the stock, Bayonet mount, Flash suppressor or threaded barrel, and Grenade launcher. So a legal gun can only accept zero or one of the above features along with a detachable magazine, (most companies kept the pistol grip and detachable magazine, and got rid of the rest.)


Also, here's another great lunatic who doesn't know his facts and wants the gun bill repassed.
"I believe that a line needs to be drawn between civilian and military weapons. Civilians don't need bazookas, flamethrowers or machine guns. They shouldn't have large caliber weapons" (Bucks County Congressman Jim Greenwood, R-8)

Anyone want to point out to this guy that the assault weapon ban doesn't affect bazookas, flamethrowers, or machine guns. And most if not all of the guns affected by the ban are small caliber guns. ex. AR-15 is .223 in diameter, that's no even big enough to deer hunt with in most states.
