Yes. They are what are defined federally as "assault weapons" this entire discussion here is about.

So this headline and story are literally pointless and designed to instigate arguments.

I am pro gun and own several, however fuck automatic weapons no one needs those except the military and cops. Also fuck cops.

Why do cops need automatic weapons?

Why do cops need weapons at all? They are the most likely to misuse them and you are more likely to die from a cop then you are to die by an automatic weapon, or an "assault rifle."
