"During the offense that brought them to prison, 15% of State inmates and 13% of Federal inmates carried a handgun, and about 2%, a military-style semiautomatic gun. "

Wonder where the Anti crowd keeps coming up with an 8% AW carrying figure....Oh that's right,they make the **** up as they go along.....

We should force them to use the term "military-looking." Either that or force them to say that 90% of the perpetrators were dressed like gangstah rappers.

Ya, the report is interesting, but at the top of the second page, right column, they still state that a semi-auto fires "rapidly and continuously as long as the trigger is pulled" -easy to see why the anti- folks are so confused about things.
