These are weapons of war. They can kill, shoot 200 bullets a minute. Anybody that uses a semi-automatic to hunt is an animal assassin. You know, that's someone who would take an M-80 and throw it in a pond of water to kill fish.

Board President of Washington Ceasefire
["Weapons of war"? Almost none of the proposed firearms to ban have been used as military issue firearms let alone used in a war zone. They are sporting arms in common use and protected the Second Amendment.
If he can get 200 rounds a minute out of my Ruger P89 (considered an "assault weapon" by his definition) then he is a far, far better shooter than me or anyone I know.
Any firearm can be used to kill something. So how does that bit of information contribute to the discussion?
"Animal assassin"? I have a feeling that phrase is going to be used to mock Fascitelli for quite some time. And why bring up hunting? What has hunting got to do with the right to keep and bear arms?
A M-80 thrown into a pond to kill fish makes someone an "animal assassin"? No wonder their side is losing. They can't make a cogent argument. He just wanders all over the place with his thoughts.
Every single sentence this guy said is either completely false or nonsensical. It's another case of Crap for Brains.--Joe]
