The Truth About Semi-Auto Firearms

A good introduction to true assault weapons versus semi-automatic. It is very well done and done by a LEO. It talks allot about the fallacy of talking about guns by looks rather than actions and some of the misconceptions out there. I'm posting this as a potential resource for helping to re-educate the misinformed.

Did you know the National Coalition to Ban Handguns urged other anti-gun groups to NOT go after "assault weapons" because it would result in a battle that would last several decades and deflect time and resources from nationally banning all handguns?

The upshot of this is while the anti-gun groups were trying every tactic they could to ban "assault weapons", that handguns not only proliferated, but concealed carry went from a small minority of states to the overwhelming majority.
