Boy I bet the anti-gun Zealots were salivating at the mouth to jump on Mr. Smiley's throat on this. As usual though they lie through their teeth well standing in the blood of dead children!!!

Ted Hayes Needs to re-write this article, as it is very incorrect and biased toward anti-gun crowd. The AR-15 is no different than any other semi-automatic rifle on the market. An assault rifle must be able to have a selection switch that allows it to go to full Auto (It Does Not) as stated in another post that requires a lot of hoops and very few of the 87 Million gun owners in this Country have one.

The AR-15 is the most common rifle sold in the US. It is also almost never ever used in criminal acts. As a matter of fact, in 2011 there were 367 murders committed with rifles of all models according to the FBI. (More people were killed with hammers that year by the way).

Why is it when some wacko goes and kills a large number of people, the anti-gun zealots go after the people who did nothing at all. It is called "delusional propaganda syndrome" that they have allowed their brain to be infested with.
