Several things come to mind about this report...
- incomplete at best and lacking key, vital comparisons and details
- incorrect on many points
- proof once again that mainstream media a) has no idea what they are talking about and/or b) doesn't care and simply wants to push their narrative
Sigh.

Hmm.. "Automatic Weapons Ban"? By Clinton? Are they talking about the assault weapons ban in '94, or the Gun Control Act of '34?
And my kiddo's 10-22 rimfire is an assault rifle?
Nonetheless, this report brings up some things every concerned citizen should know. This report opened my eyes.
Googling around, I see I need an AR15. Thank you, CNN. I didn't know what the fuss was all about until you prompted dispassionate research of the AR's capabilities.
And the convenience of high capacity magazines in one of the next videos! I need some of those, too.

Now the montra has morphed from Assault Rifle to Assault Style Rifle. Good grief that could be just about any shoulder fired weapon.

And they end the video with a full auto AK ripping off a string.

Integrity used to mean something -- even in journalism.

That's the plan! Call something evil enough times, list some insignificant features about that evil thing, then you can group together anything, that has any of the evil thing's features, and call for it to be banned. Page one of the Hitlery playbook!

Democrats are evil. Socialists are evil. Progressives are evil. Obama and his minions are evil. Clinton and her minions are evil. Socialists are evil.
Communists are evil. Murderers are evil. Extremists who use various forms of weapons (guns, knives, axes, trucks, etc) are evil.
Repeat above as necessary.....

There is a very good article in the current issue of TSRA magazine about history of the AR/M-16.
