WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MACHINE GUNS ON OUR STREETS

We're not actually talking about machine guns on the streets, of course. We're talking about the Assault Weapons Ban, which covered -- past tense, noting the lack of bloodshed and chaos -- semiautomatic weapons only. This link refers to a transcript of an on-air broadcast from KSL-TV. Although the report is technically balanced, with quotes from both sides, no one bothers to challenge the blatant lies from Marla Kennedy. Yes, lies. Marla repeatedly says and implies that the ban covers "machine guns". Yet, it doesn't. Machine guns have been heavily regulated since 1934 and banned from manufacture for civilian use since 1986. The assault weapons ban covers semi-automatic firearms only.
