Yeah, Glade, it's true. Yep, there are a lot of loving, wonderful people in this world that just somehow don't make it onto the 11:00 news.

Bless them.

I never did think that the shooter might be a terrorist. How dumb of me.

Harpgirl, you cannot ignore the unpleasant facts of life and expect them to just go away. A knowledge of weapons and their capabilities is important whether you are for or against gun ownership.
I'm sure as hell not in favor of anthrax but I want to know as much as I can about it so I can better protect myself and my loved ones.
I'm sorry you were offended> I find a lot of the blather on some threads offensive myself. But I read it anyhow, because that's for I learn.
Re. "Seim-Automatic Assault Rifle". This is another example of media dis-information. An 'Assault" weapon has, by definition FULL-AUTO capability.
The Colt AR-15 is the civilian version of the M-16 but WITHOUT FULL-AUTO CAPABILITY. It is a semi-automatic weapon and, as such, cannot be justifiably claimed to be an assault weapon.
Of course, "assault weapon" makes better copy and that's what sells on the six-o'clock news.

This from Google. The operant word is SELECTIVE fire.

"An assault rifle---forget the AP Style Book definition, its
dead wrong---is a reduced power rifle caliber, selective-
fire, reasonably compact weapon smaller in size than a full-
caliber rifle, capable of a reasonable degree of accuracy
out to 400 yards. Generally, an assault rifle accepts a
magazine of a least 20 rounds. One can construe certain
full caliber rifles to meet this specification, but
submachine guns can only loosely border on any definition of
the true assault rifle. Beretta's M38A, the Hungarian 39M,
and long-barreled versions of the Finnish Suomi come very
close; at the other end of the spectrum, the U.S. Carbine
M1 and M2 come very close, but in fact fall into their own
very special category. In every case, the "pure" assault
rifles replaced or supplemented much more powerful
rifles...in U.S., M16 replaced M14, in the USSR, AK an SKS
replaced the Nagant and Tokarev in 7.62x54R M91, and so on."
This is from an article in "GUNS" magazine.
