Isn't there medication for this?
Paul Helmke uses the tried and true method of the VPC claiming that the weapons used in the latest shootings are the same ones that are being used by terrorists and the military in Iraq. He quotes some typical "authorized journalists" who either don't know the difference (ignorant) or are intentionally misrepresenting it to make headlines (liars).
We know Paul knows the difference so what category does that put him in?
He goes on about how dangerous the 7.62 x 39 round is. I guess he would prefer them chambered in .30 then to increase the chance of death.
Note the calls for restrictions on the number of guns and ammunition you can own.
And why does he follow his tradition of posting this nonsense late Friday? Because the blogs are traditionally slower on the weekends so he hopes his resident sycophant can get a few words in before we demolish the post with assault facts typed from the hip.

I don't know if this will get past the Huff 'n' Puff Post censors, so I'll post it here:
"Perhaps even more shocking, the type of bullet many assault weapons fire (7.62mm full metal jacket) can penetrate four categories of police body armor [pdf]."
Hey Paul,
Why don't you talk about how much MORE efficiently many non-"assault weapon" calibers--calibers that are considered standard deer hunting rounds--penetrate body armor? Why don't you talk about the fact that part of the very definition of "assault rifle," which has been around since WWII, is the use of an intermediate-powered cartridge, significantly LESS powerful than the battle rifle calibers (like the .30-06) that preceded "assault rifle" calibers? Why don't you talk about the fact that the WASR-10 (NOT "AK-47"), used in the Omaha murders, is a DIRECT PRODUCT of the "assault weapons" law of 1994, and would probably never have been built if that law hadn't been passed?
Tell me, Paul--why don't you talk about THAT?
The Friday night "moderator" tends to delete most of the comments. We'll see what manages to get through.
I'm keeping him busy ;-).
