But it's a pretty retarded definition, having to do with cosmetic features, and not the actual danger of the weapon in a shooting scenario.

So I'm not entirely sure what you think your point is.

The SPD defines some pistols with certain features as assault weapons. I know what you're going to say -- the short version being, you, some guy on the Internet, knows more about guns than the police department. That's what makes you a blowhard.

Proceed with your gun geek cock wagging now. Show us how much you know. I know I can't stop you.

Yes, it's black. Yes, it's got a plastic stock. But it's not any different than any other semi-automatic hunting rifle except for cosmetic features.

yeah.

we were unaware Wmart sells them but thanks for the heads up, we will look into it and will save us a long trip to our current gun store.

And, about this petition, I suppose it's all very well, but I doubt Walmart is shaking in its boots worrying about the Stranger's readership boycotting the store. They don't really strike me as the demographic.
