An article about the assault weapons ban, that focuses on how the local police officials disagree about it, is factually correct in describing the ban as a ban on assault rifles with certain attachments. Further, it says:
The 1994 Assault Weapons Act made semiautomatic assault weapons illegal if they had detachable magazines and two or more of the following: a folding or telescoping stock, a pistol grip, a bayonet mount, a flash suppressor or a grenade launcher. Such features often are applied to guns such as the AK-47 and AR-15. The act is set to expire in mid-September.
Good for the Herald-Mail.
