Mitch Albom: Citing forefathers is misplaced in gun debate

By Mitch Albom, The Detroit Free Press

The assault rifle traces back to Nazi Germany. Did you know that? The Germans were trying to develop a more effective weapon for their soldiers, one that rivaled the firepower of a submachine gun but had better accuracy in more confined spaces.

Kill faster, closer in. That was the idea. Adolf Hitler, according to some accounts, even named the weapon: Sturmgewehr. It means “storm rifle.”

Tuck that somewhere in the back of your mind. The first people to really utilize this weapon were Nazis. Not our forefathers. Not Thomas Jefferson. Not George Washington.

Let's not cite the Forefathers, let's cite me, "Criminals don't buy guns legally at gun stores, so any gun control legislation only prohibits law abiding citizens from obtaining them!" It's every law abiding citizens right to possess weapons for protection and that means any gun! How do you fight a criminal or terrorist who has an AK-47 with a .22 pistol, YOU DON'T BECAUSE YOU'RE DEAD!
