re criminals machineguns in article u uicvm uic edu jason kratz u uicvm uic edu writes people are getting killed by gang violence every day every single day i hear about more people getting killed by gang violence and see some of the weapons that are being confiscated is kratz claiming that he can reliably visually distinguish an m from an ar that he can see the difference between a semi auto and a full auto uzi that he can see the difference between the various versions some full auto some semi auto only of the m if so i d love to hear the details if only because they ll demonstrate that kratz is blowing smoke considering that one can design a gun so that it looks just like another gun yet have very different properties and that that s quite common most kids in my neighborhood were quite young when they figured out that my parents car wasn t much like richard petty s even though it looked just like it except for the paint job things must have been different with kratz sure it s on tv but why does that make a difference no it doesn t but that s irrelevant if visual inspection of the outside worked tv would be acceptable but since it doesn t the fact that it s just as good as seeing in person doesn t mean much andy gave kratz a chance to back down on this in private
