Shreveport police routinely take assault weapons off the streets

I can't read the article so exactly what are they qualifying as "Assault weapons?" If it's what used to be banned, then who cares? Those are legal now and no more dangerous than any other weapon. If they mean automatic weapons then good, automatic weapons are less deadly than most other weapons because almost nobody that uses them has the training to make them effective.

If I had to choose between a gang-banger shooting at me with a 12ga pump shotgun or an AK47 I'll take the AK every time.
