Warning about "weapons designed for the theater of war," President Obama on Wednesday called for immediate action on a new Federal Assault Weapons Ban. He said that "more of our fellow Americans might still be alive" if the original assault weapons ban, passed in 1994, had not expired in 2004. Last month, in the wake of the horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) promised to introduce an updated version of the ban. She too warned of the threat posed by "military weapons."

Thanks.... But the real trick would be getting this into the hands of people who are uneducated on guns.

That is fantastic! If they realize that surely the rest of the media with any sense will follow suit.

Well, the Wall Street Journal is not a bad place for it. It's amazing to me how many people I know who don't understand what this article describes - that an assault rifle and a hunting rifle do not function differently. People literally think we all have machine guns...

"No self-respecting military in the world would use the civilian version of these guns."
I like that part.

It was good I agree but can they stop and by they I mean all media outlets using the term bushmaster as a type of firearm, after all it is only a brand name
