Second Presidential Debate
The candidates muff it, but Prof. Winkler does not. Neither seemed to know the difference between full automatic and semi-automatic firearms, which would be no great knowledge gap ... unless the person in ignorance is proposing to outlaw something that they can't describe.
"Is it any wonder then that the candidates offered little in the way of effective solutions? Neither seems to know much about what they are—finally—talking about."

I'd hate for them to outlaw "the part that goes up". Might be painful for guys, and it would be open to a challenge on equal protection grounds.
They can't the difference between a hawk and a hand saw.
It's incredible that the people that author and vote on the bills have such an incredible lack of understanding of the basic terms etc. Carolyn McCarthy (the thing that goes up) and the rest of them are completely in the dark, but when has that really ever stopped them. We all know that they're doing it for "the children"
Well well well. It seems that Adam Winker has retreated from his previous support for a ban on +10 round capacity detachable magazines.
Well, we have had since 1994 to explain the difference between "Rifles", "Assault Rifles" and "Assualt Weapons" to the pols and the general public. It's not working. Makes you wonder what else they don't understand. Jack.
