only if they wish to be shot. by the way, "assault rifles" are always select fire or full auto, none of the rifles the anti gun people want to call "assault rifles" are. the term assault rifle was first used for full auto and select fire (burst, 2-3 shots usually) weapons, no military has ever used the term for semi auto only (which means one bullet out for each squeeze of the trigger, you have to release the trigger and pull it again to shoot!). i'm not media companies have any legal obligation to print ads they don't like, i'm saying that they have a moral obligation which to me is more important than legal requirements. if every one only did what the law requires and did everything it doesn't prohibit the world would be pretty terrible pretty quickly. it wouldn't be a problem if all the media weren't being bought up by a small group of companies, but that's what's happening.
