What REALLY, REALLY, REALLY makes my blood boil is when the gun grabbers and gun "control" idiots mention "assault weapons". And it's based strictly on appearance. The relatively new Sig Sauer MPX (below) looks like one but in reality it's no more deadly than a standard non-scary looking gun. It's semi auto 9mm and can easily be out performed by a shooter with a 9mm pistol. Even without multiple magazines for the pistol. And calibers are decieving to them. Believe it or not, statistically speaking, 22LR rounds have been a more effective round for killing people/repelling attackers than most calibers.

Gun grabbers and gun "control" whack jobs are too ignorant to even be allowed to comment on the matter.
