But the shotgun will very likely kill who it hits, and the odds are good that the pistol caliber automatic weapon will only wound. None of the mass murders I have read about involved someone spraying a room, they just walked methodically around killing people one by one. -Karl

Um, doesn't anyone see a difference between what just got banned- a SEMI-automatic version of the Uzi with a 16 inch barrel- and a fully automatic machine gun? I'll clue you in if you don't: What just got banned is a large, bulky, extraordinarily expensive handgun. And why? Because it…
