Misinformed or Lying?

From another PA politician.

U.S. Rep. Joseph Sestak, D-7th, of Edgmont, is co-sponsor of a House resolution to reinstate the federal assault weapons ban.

"I don't believe our police should have to face the same type of weapons that our soldiers face in Baghdad," Sestak said. "The ban made assault weapons less accessible to criminals."

Well Mr. Sestak, I'm sure you have been (or will be) informed that "Assault Weapons" are NOT what our soldiers face in Baghdad nor is there any support for the claim of the AWB making them 'less accessible to criminals'.

So were you misinformed or are you lying?

Update: Welcome to the Rep. Sestak's office staff. I'm perfectly willing to answer any questions you may have.
