Tabin's "When an AK47 is Not an AK47" article brings to mind an analogy.

Every kid with any awareness of cars who doesn't want to be thought a fool understands that the Nascar cars are not the same as the cars at the local car dealer.

p>"Big city" reporters seem to figure that out as well about cars. Perhaps someone should tell them that the rubes are laughing at their ignorance on look-alike guns as well. br> -- Andy Freeman /p>

Tabin's article is the most comprehensive one I've yet seen on the subject of gun control.

Ugly, lethal looking semi-automatic guns are no more deadly than the weapons we hunt with. In fact "spraying bullets" most of the time is not very effective. Remember those bank robbers, with actual Machine guns and Body Armor, who were spraying bullets at pistol packing cops?

Using my 7MM deer rifle, I could have taken out each bandit with one shot between the eyes. Any normally equipped hunter could have done so. Hunters routinely kill with a single shot. Hitting the target where you aim is the name of the game!
