I'm thinking the gun referred to is the SKS45 which fires a 7.62x39 round which I believe disqualifies it from the definition of "submachine gun." That round is considered a medium powered round and submachine guns fire low powered rounds generally of the class used in pistols. I believe the SKS41 fired the 7.62x25 round, but that isn't the one we all commonly own. I've never seen one.

The SKS is a semiautomatic rifle, although it can be converted with simple hand tools to a fully automatic submachine gun.

Example: see photo at this story link - http://www.philly.com/inquirer/world_us/18794639.html The Philly Inquirer story that I linked has this tidbit: <blockquote><em>The SKS is a semiautomatic rifle, although it can be converted with simple hand tools to a fully automatic submachine gun.</em></blockquote> Who knew?!

Our Marxist/warrior/hero/criminals are blameless. We practically own the media, so not surprisingly they tend to portray things the way we'd like to see them portrayed. Mayor Nutter blames the NRA, but correctly finds one of our cop killers to be merely disappointing. (I'm disappointed as well; he got caught!) Did I mention that we own Philly too?" “A police officer was killed in Philly by an SKS recently.”

Another story covered only by the New York Times shows perhaps violations of the Bush administrations attempt to push pro war propaganda to the American people. All presidents have sued the media, but never put a military program together specifically to spread propaganda to citizens of this country. You will not see this on Fox, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, or ABC as they are all implicated in the 8,000 page document obtained through the freedom of information act. It is only fair to let people know that when they listen to the establishment, do not expect to get the truth. Liberty, Truth, and the American way!! http://www.alternet.org/mediaculture/84693/ Ah, the media spin.
