It is refreshing tthat a strident gun-prohibitionist has finally conceded the difference between Assault Rifles and the media-driven "assault weapon." Confusing the two has been and remains a major -- and unethical -- propaganda component of both banners AND MSM.

Thanks, secmo! Since posting on gun topics in GD appears to rmain wide-open, I encourage you to post this in GD. I will not alert it.

NOTE TO ANY POTENTIAL JURORS: Since the reasons for allowing gun posts in GD remain hazy, and the duration for such postings remains up in the air, and since gun posts of a general nature have been posted in GD as late as yesterday, CORRECTION: as of right now, I can only logically assume that GD remains (as it has for some week/months) open to General gun postings. Hence, my suggestion that this OP might be of value to the DU membership. To that end,

Please read:

1). the "standards" for gun posts in GD

2). and note that the OP in this thread is from a member who is generally thought to be quite anti-gun, and probably doubly-acceptable in GD

3). and review the history of GD and the multitude of gun posts (and their content as it relates to 2) above) over the last several weeks.

I do not think this posting is in any way "over-the-top," or in violation of the procedures of DU, but is instead part of the heavy and continuing flow of general gun postings in GD. I was previously "hidden" as "over the top" because I expressed confusion as to how long guns would be allowed in GD, and whether or not gun postings from anyone were indeed kosher.

Thank you for your attention.
