As the death count is still rising from the three horrendous mass shootings in the past week, and innocent victims continue to suffer in hospital beds, you have to ask yourself why gun owners are so stubborn about assault-style weapons. You would think that responsible, law-abiding gun owners who own common-sense weapons would be the first ones to desire a ban on assault-style weapons.
These weapons have no use for hunting. They are also impractical for self-defense. Their sole purpose is to kill people, and a lot of people.
Undoubtedly, we'll see the usual quibbling about definitions of assault weapons, types of triggers, gun add-ons, etc. If these folks are such experts on these weapons, they are the exact people that should draft the meaningful legislation to ban them nationwide.
We will see the usual 2nd Amendment references. C'mon - folks from the late 1700s would roll over in their graves, if they saw the carnage of our "civilized" society.
Conservative Supreme Court Justice Warrn Burger
He declared on PBS that the Second Amendment "has been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime."
This quote is from 1991. Justice Burger's words ring even more TRUE today.
