Day of the Evil Gun

Officers said those handguns are then passed from hand to hand, committing crimes, until officers arrest people and seize the firearm. [More]

If the guns are committing the crimes, why are they arresting the people?

'cause the guns don't have rights? And they are probably the same guns that "just go off" and unexpectedly kill the person to whom you were showing it.

"He showed a mini 14 which had been converted by common kits into an assault weapon.

Oh? Why can't I find these kits at the gun shows? You would think that because they are "common" they would be on every table.

“About 75 percent of our homicides involve firearms — every one of them being used illegally at the time of the murder and many being possessed illegally,” Beck said.

No shit. Even if it were a shovel or a hammer, if it is used to commit a murder, it is being used illegally.

Why did they blur out the selector of the "military version of the AR 15" at 1:37? Could it be because it isn't a full auto? If you look, there doesn't appear to be a hole for the pin where the auto sear is mounted. I bet this is a semiauto.

RobertFowler, as Bill Clinton famously said,"It depends on what the meaning of is is". A Mini-14 with an aftermarket stock and ventilated hand guard (closely resembling a barrel shroud- you know, "the thing that goes up") while offering no functional enhancement, miraculously becomes an ASSAULT WEAPON because some elected crook defined it that way.
