Tear it apart if you like. They at least try to point out both sides.

With a little bit of ignorance and bias thrown in for good measure.:p

What exactly is an unlicensed dealer? Or what simple, downright basic device do they contend sends a projectile downrange at 4,000 fps? Yeah, there's wildcats and other HV calibers....but are they common? Are they readily used in violent crimes?

As per the article....."In the meantime, in Virginia, a firearm can be purchased with less oversight than a used car." How about a comparison between the dangers wrought from operating a vehicle versus those produced from firearms?

What if that used car sold for $500? Should it be acceptable to buy it from an "unlicensed dealer" aka private individual? :shaking::shaking::shaking:

Still, explaining the various parts of a semi-auto to people is a great start...but why does the computer animation discharge the 3 rounds so fast? Could it be that the animations speed was overlooked? Or rather could it have been to broadcast the notion that a semi-automatic is virtually indistinguishable from a machine gun?
