Gun Control - Myth of the easy machine gun
We need more reporters like this.
Ones that are willing to research what we are being told, and publish what they find.
Then, we can form our opinions, based on facts, not agenda-driven PR...

Here's an article about assault rifles.
I'll let Michael Bowers tell it:
"...the assault rifle ban never dies. It's just wounded, waiting to come back when you're not looking. So I thought I would look into the validity of its major argument. That is, this notion that it's easy to convert a semi-automatic rifle (legal) into a fully automatic rifle (illegal), also known as a machine gun (illegal).
I've been following the debate. One point always seems to go unexplained. Once some concerned police chief declares that semi-automatic rifles are dangerously easy to convert, the discussion leaps elsewhere."
