Good news.
"Three days after Washington became the 10th state to enact an "assault weapon" ban, a federal judge temporarily blocked enforcement of a similar law in Illinois. That decision, which was published last Friday, may signal the demise of a long-running public policy fraud that falsely depicts an arbitrarily defined category of semi-automatic rifles as good for nothing but mass murder.
"Assault weapon" bans, which typically cover specific models along with features such as adjustable stocks, pistol grips, flash suppressors, and barrel shrouds, have always been logically dubious. And under the constitutional test that the Supreme Court recently established, they look more legally vulnerable than ever."

It's extremely important to keep so-called "assault weapons" out of the hands of law-abiding citizens.

FOIA,
I have three, but I haven't killed anyone this week. (Of course it's only Monday.)

Only the government is entitled to possess weapons "only suitable for killing large number of people at once."
