Armed and Safe recently wrote about Mark Kirk's newly introduced legislation, H.R. 6257, calling for a new ban on semi-automatic rifles. AR-15's, FAL's, etc are all named.
This guy is supposed to be on our side!

Jesse Jackson came and went on June 15th. He was protesting the empty DSA factory. (They get weekends off...)
Did anyone notice? We sure didn't. Some of us participated in the McHenry Co. VFW's Flag Day celebration and my family was busy enjoying a pre-Father's Day BBQ on a nice sunny summer day.
The media hardly covered it too... Almost nobody, outside of Father Pfleger and Mayor Daley that is, cared too much to comment.
I wouldn't post anything, except that I ran across this excerpt from Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran in the Lake Co. News-Sun:
In a statement that noted his office spent $5,200 providing security at an August 2007 protest outside D.S. Arms, 27 W. 900 Industrial Ave., Curran suggested it would be more beneficial to find alternative solutions to curb random acts of violence involving guns.
Go read the whole thing.
