The target ranges comment is almost laughable. There is a range my father uses close by at West Point that is 2000 yards long and desighned for long distance target shooting. When he used to go to shooting competitions around the north east , most of the ranges we went to were that long and longer. You make the AR-15 sound like some kind of killing machine , when in reality it is less dangerous than a shot gun is. I posted here last week about someone who shot 2 robbers with 1 shot from a shot gun.Some of the newer desighns are prone to jamming if they are fired too rapidly and ones with shortened barrels to make them more compact and better for home defense also have shortened ranges. On top of all that their light weight puts them at the mercy of their recoil, so it takes longer to recover from each shot fired. All in all , from my expierience "assault rifles" like this are just there to separate a fool and his money.

Your ignorance of firearms is showing again. The Bushmaster and its uses are completely legal. [/QUOTE]I did not mean to imply I knew anything about guns; the fact is I know very little about them. I have two small children and would never have one in my house. As well, I live in a city so I have no use for hunting weapons. My wife just goes to jewel. As far as this particular weapon being legal, I am sure you are correct. This strengthens my original point about the manufacturer not being at fault. I did not know if it was legal or not I was just responding to the other comment.
