Assault weapons aren’t machine guns

But that doesn’t keep the ChicTrib from obfuscating the two:

Six months before he allegedly killed 14-year-old Starkesia Reed in a spray of automatic gunfire, gang member Carail Weeks went to Indiana to buy an AK-47.

Weeks already had been under investigation by federal agents for almost two months last September because a gun he had previously bought in Indiana had been seized in an armed robbery arrest, according to law enforcement sources.

But that didn’t stop Weeks from going to a suburban Indianapolis gun shop, showing a fake Indiana state identification card, and walking out with two handguns and an AK-47—the type of gun used to kill Starkesia on March 3, the sources said.

    I guess it’s time to crank up the anti-gun-show-hysteria a notch or two.

    I don’t think “obfuscate” means what you think it means. “Conflate” would probably be a better word… 🙂

    M-W.com

    Obfuscate: 1 a : DARKEN b : to make obscure 2 : CONFUSE

    Conflate: 1 a : to bring together : FUSE b : CONFUSE 2 : to combine (as two readings of a text) into a composite whole

    Either works for me.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
