That Wikipedia article looks like is has had a very strong gun-lover contribution. I am a big fan of Wikipedia but this entry looks to have a lot of spin which can be seen from the footnotes.

I would like to see assault rifles of any kind of definition out of the hands of people like the Aurora movie theater shooter James Holmes, the Newtown killer Adam Lanza, and other depraved murderers. Shooting bullets at a very high rate of speed allowed them to kill many more people than it would have if weapons that made them cock a lever and fire or whatever. I am NOT a gun fanatic and have little interest in guns.

You keep making me the issue rather than guns.
