	"Gun Control: Explaining The Brady Campaign Report Card" by Howard Nemerov (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In their accompanying press release, Brady states: “only three states actually changed grades.” (2) Ohio was downgraded because they passed a shall-issue concealed carry law that took effect in 2004.
		One can extrapolate from Brady criteria that the District of Columbia would receive an “A” grade, because of their ban on civilian firearms.) However, since Brady Campaign considers each state an equivalent entity in their report, the average violent crime rate comparison shows that non-CCW states are 20% more violent.
		Brady Campaign’s alleged concern about “gun violence prevention laws” amounts to nothing more than an unsubstantiated premise that concealed carry laws contribute to violence.

	washingtonpost.com: The Assault Weapons Ban: Brady Campaign
		Whereas an automatic weapon (machine gun) will continue to fire as long as the trigger is depressed (or until the ammunition magazine is emptied), a semiautomatic weapon will fire one round and instantly load the next round with each pull of the trigger.
		If you only consider GUN crimes, assault weapons were used by 6.8% of gun criminals prosecuted by state officials, and 9.3% of federally prosecuted gun criminals.
		It was crystal clear to anyone who has ever touched a gun that the restrictions in the ban were strictly cosmetic and would do nothing to control actuall gun violence.
