It is primarily media Hype. Consider this from an actual Expert Ted Rockwell (why yes, Google him): “the Three Mile Island (TMI) incident, where 10 to 20 tons of the nuclear reactor melted down, slumped to the bottom of the reactor vessel, and initiated the dreaded China Syndrome, where the reactor core melts and burns [...]

Part of being Progressive is being willing to deal with the facts and adjusting your position to fit the facts when you are mistaken. As a progressive who happens to enjoy shooting sports (there are lots of us) here is some background on the AR-15. It is not an automatic “machine gun”. Each shot requires the trigger to be pulled (and yes that can be done really, really fast). As an earlier poster noted you can get a license for a fully automatic version (the venerable M-16) by passing a background check and paying a hefty license fee. The lower receiver is the part the government considers to be the actual gun. It has a serial number and in my state (Virginia) you get the usual background check to purchase it. The rest of the firearm (barrel, stock, sight, upper receiver and such) can all be purchased across the counter. Sadly the dick heads at the PSA think that glorifying rude and impolite actions by a sitting member of Congress will increase sales.
