Yet there were many who agree with my post.  AND my post was stimulated by Sylvia Wyss using the opportunity to post nothing more than a derisive attack on the left wing in place of commenting on the issue or the article. Much like Russians are known to do to foment division.  It was also germane since this is a contentious issue bound to bring out those people.  So perhaps YOU should be the one commenting on the article or participating in the discussion - personally I think the discussion of what constitutes a fully automatic weapon is apropos, if civil.  This is a huge issue in this country and at least that is part of the issue.
