  • “Assault Weapon” Myths
    “ASSAULT WEAPON” MYTHS E. Gregory Wallace Scary black rifles that spray bullets like machine guns. Military arms designed solely for killing on the battlefield. Weapons of choice for mass shooters. These are common descriptions of so-called “assault weapons,” a favorite target for those who want to eliminate gun violence by eliminating guns. Several states and localities currently ban “assault weapons,” as did the federal government from 1994-2004. In response to recent mass shootings, bills have been introduced in Congress to create a new national ban. Lawmakers and judges often use these descriptions to justify such bans. But are the descriptions factual? If not, what does that say about the laws and court decisions that rely on them? While there is no generally agreed-upon definition of “assault weapon,” laws banning such weapons typically criminalize possession or transfer of semiautomatic rifles with detachable magazines and at least one specified feature such as a pistol grip, telescoping stock, flash suppressor, barrel shroud, bayonet mount, or grenade launcher.1 Other “assault weapon” bans prohibit certain semiautomatic rifles, shotguns, and pistols by name and by features, along with any copies, duplicates, or variants.2 The main target of these bans is the AR-15 rifle, the most popular rifle in America, owned by millions for lawful purposes including self-defense.3 The AR-15 looks like a fully automatic military M4 carbine or M16 rifle, but it has a semiautomatic firing system like most modern handguns.

What are shooters to do? How can we maintain our skills when there is no ammo to buy, and that which we already have seems “too precious to shoot”? Well, there are still ways by which we can maintain or even improve our skills – simple exercises which are commonly recommended by instructors but admittedly ignored by many of us. Consider, for example: Holster Draw -- This exercise is great for CPL holders and all those who wish to practice their holster-draw skills. And in my opinion, it is also one of the best uses of your television. The process is this: Step 1 – Unload your pistol/revolver and remove ammo to a separate room. Step 2 – Confirm again that your handgun is unloaded.
