way back in the 70s or 80s we were arguing about Saturday night specials. Those were cheap imported double action 6 shot revolvers and small 25 or 380 auto pistols with 7 or 8 rounds capacity. Now here we are 30 40 years later arguing about semi-auto rifles with 30 round magazines. Not much progress in gun laws is there?

It does have a pretty high WTF quotient, however.

This is one issue where a fresh set of non-American eyes really helps.
