Josh Myers, Deputy Sheriff of Coffee County Alabama, offers one of the better arguments for controlling assault weapons on our nation's streets. Deputy Sampson's wife and 2 month-old child were killed by a gunman wielding among other weapons, an AK-47. The gunman was able to fire several thousand rounds at family members, former employers, and random encounters on the streets of Sampson, Alabama. Eleven people, including the gunman who eventually shot himself, died in the rampage.
