Kevin has a post that finally got me moving to make this short history of assault weapons... just to keep things in perspective.
This was most likely the first type of assault weapon in history.
Next was probably something alone these lines...
Then they found a way to kill at a distance.
Adding a handle made the killing more efficient.
Then we get into metalergy.
...And the science of aerodynamics!
Which came before the science of pyrotechnics and ballistics.
With firearms used on both sides of good and evil.
Is some arbitrary idea that adding a bananna clip, or making it black , or ugly more deadly than long and lean?
Assault weapons were'nt always used by the military only, or for killing human beings. Most make good hunting rifles.
Because when you boil it all down, it's not the weapon it's self that's dangerous, it's the one using it.
