CNN.com - Sniper victim families sue gun maker, retailer - Jan. 16, 2003 "'This was a very deadly weapon designed for combat use, highly lethal, military copy. It was an assault weapon used for sniper purposes,' Luvera said.'It has no legitimate purposes in terms of hunting, self protection, sports. It has a function which represents a unique threat to public safety.'"

Luvera may or may not be a jackass ambulance-chasing shyster, but he clearly knows nothing about guns. An assault weapon and a sniper weapon have totally different functions. The Bushmaster design is not especially dangerous. As the owner of a similar though superior weapon, I can personally assure you that these weapons do have a sporting purpose. For target shooting, their lightweight triggers and excellent sights make them tremendously fun.
