Sarah Palin and the AR-15 
(Michael Bane, NRA member from Colorado, host of a show on the Outdoor Channel; quoted in yahoonews, August 31, " Palin electrifies conservative base").
The AR-15 is a semi-automatic assault weapon.
"Semiautomatic assault weapons are only slightly less deadly than machine guns. Pulling the trigger on these guns fires a single bullet, but also automatically loads the next bullet into the chamber, so that the user can fire up to 30 bullets in five seconds by repeatedly pulling the trigger. The best-known semi-automatic weapons, including the Israeli UZI, the Chinese-made SKS rifle and the Soviet AK-47 were all developed for military use, and are ill-suited for hunting."
