"THAT is a lie." ...you simply do not know that. John Kerry may just be disagreeing with you, and agreeing with me. Running for office does NOT necessarily make a man a liar.

For all practical purposes, the guns that HAVE been on the street and the guns that WILL now be allowed are 'assult weapons'. If you want to win the point, just claim that 'fully automatic' weapons will still be be 'officially' be banned. But if a criminal has a weapon that can use a larger clip, and can be fired 30 times in 5-10 seconds, then I don't wish to be around him. The MILITARY does not give fully automatic weapons to absolutely every soldier, if I understand it correctly. And....if I remember my news, most of those SEMI-automatic weapons which are now allowed can be modified reasonably easily to become fully automatic.

It gets kinda tedious to have disputes over minutae being propelled to the top of the Conservative agenda in order to distract and water down the real point. "Kerry wasn't wounded 'badly'" "Kerry voted for, then voted against..." red herrings should not decide an election........
