More media gun distortions
Via Publicola, we have this article which states:
“The rifle believed used in the recent slayings of three Birmingham police officers would be illegal under a bill now before Congress, a move supported by some of Alabama’s top law officers in the wake of the deaths.”
The Assault Weapons Ban would not ban this rifle. An SKS does not accept a detachable magazine and is not covered by the ban.

Yeah, but it meets the most important criterion: “looks scary.”

And I’m pretty sure that it is illegal to kill police officers with any sort of rifle. I think it is illegal even if you don’t use a rifle, but don’t hold me to that.
