That paragraph makes as much sense to me as a football bat.This quote was imbedded in the article found using the link;
One legislator stated: “Other than target shooting, the only other reason [for a semi-automic firearm] would be for self-defense… [Why would you need a] rifle that accommodates 20 rounds semi-automatic for deer hunting? … It’s only very infrequently that someone commits a crime with an assault weapon – why do you need one for self-defense?"
So if "assault weapons" are rarely used in a crime then why ban them? That's the equivilent of banning the sale of all cars capable of going more than 70mph simply because certain people occassionally use them to drive faster than the speed limit.

Beretta alone is 400 jobs plus sub-contractors. No idea if the subcontractors will move, but that is 400 very good paying jobs that are leaving MD.
Me to!Well, I can't stand the 92, but I could use a gun for sporting clays. I'll see if I can't support them...
