....." Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said Friday that he would not support efforts for a renewed assault weapons ban, because "any weapon" — including hammers and machetes — could qualify as an "assault weapon."
"I refuse to play the game of 'assault weapon,' " Gohmert said on the "Dennis Miller Show," as first reported by ThinkProgress. "That’s any weapon. It’s a hammer. It’s the machetes. In Rwanda that killed 800,000 people, an article that came out this week, the massive number that are killed with hammers.".... RRD: There are of course differences between battle rifles,including semi-automatic battle rifles,& machetes etc,but her underlying point is valid: A machete in the hands of a genocidal gang egged on by a genocidal government is a threat,a AR-15 in the hands of a innocent person is not a threat,it can become a threat if a evil or insane person aqcuires it, but the weapon itself is neither good nor evil.
