I was reading this article today,
It's time to bring back the assault weapons ban, gun violence experts say.
Not being a gun owner and not having any interest I do question whether there is a need to own assault weapons.
However, I am wondering if a compromise could be made. What if we ban assault weapons, but permit the use of them at Gun Ranges?
Based on the article above it may not hurt to have the ban in place.
Wow, I can't believe people are still reading and believing this garbage......''military-style assault weapon ".....FIRST, ask yourself, or find the definition of assault weapon or assault rifle...What is it exactly?
THEN, find out what military style actually means?...Is it select fire?, or as the uninformed call it, full auto. If it isn't, then it isn't a military style weapon, and therefore, not an assault weapon.
The bigger questions are these....
Who are these so called experts?
Are they the people that use skewed statistics to promote their own agenda?
Are they including the gang shootings with handguns in their supposed assault weapon study?
Why do they only count 6 or more people shot, in their so called massacres study?
When does a shooting incident become a massacre?
How many people shot, does it take to be deemed a massacre by a self professed expert?
...and not a simple shooting incident?
Does the grandstanding and use of horrifying words in their articles, play into their personal agendas success?
Will their writing style and use of certain action/trigger words get them a publishing spot in the Times?
....And, the biggest question of all,...Under what circumstances, do you or anyone think, that you have the right, the legal claim, (definition of a right) to take my means of self defense away from me? Whatever that is, be it a rifle, club, knife, bow and arrow, claw hammer, rock.... whatever.
Once that is done, in your view of a perfect world, what is next? Will you attempt to then take my only remaining means of self defense from me?...will you take my hands and feet from me? Will you take my brain away from me? ....because that is the most effective and dangerous tool of all self defense. Go vote on it and let me know how it turns out for you, please.
