No Justice Stevens, "High-Powered Automatic Weapons" were not used in Newtown

John Hames shared with you:   No Justice Stevens, "High-Powered Automatic Weapons" were not used in Newtown joshblackman.com - Justice Stevens has a new Op-Ed promoting his new book about Six Amendments to add to the Constitution (I listed them here). There is a glaring error in the first sentence. No. There were no "high-powered automatic weapons." A semi-automatic rifle was used. Automatic weapons are illegal under federal law. Semi-automatic rifles are legal. And those rulings predate Heller. I appreciate that he does not agree with Scalia about the nature of the Second Amendment, but at least get your facts right. Available on the App Store.
