Joe, I think you are correct. FA weapons, in the USA, are simply too difficult to obtain unless you have a foreign source and a smuggling operation of your own. Reporter's ignorance at work. ************************************************** Professor Joseph Olson, J.D., LL.M. o- 651-523-2142 Hamline University School of Law (MS-D2037) f- 651-523-2236 St. Paul, MN 55113-1235 c- 612-865-7956 [email protected]
>>> Joe Waldron <[email protected]> 04/17/09 9:50 PM >>> >> No. Most serious gang bangers have moved up to fully automatics >> like AK-47's. ... >> Can anyone document the prevalence of full-auto use by gangbangers? Or any other group for that matter? Most of the newspaper accounts I read of full auto weapons used by the criminal element turn out to be semi-autos. Never underestimate the ignorance of reporters (or their preference for sensationalism and inflammatory language).
