During Swearer’s opening remarks, she read a prepared statement that showcased her deep knowledge of the subject. As a Senior Legal Policy Analyst with several published pieces, Swearer clearly conducted exhaustive research on assault rifles. She also has facts on crime statistics and the 2nd Amendment.

Then she simply schooled those in favor of an assault weapon ban.
 
I've known 2 murder victims and one attempted murder victim. My best friend from college, Bonnie Delgado Black, was stabbed to death by her husband just before a divorce/custody hearing. She was a trained operative with the DOD Directorate of Counter-Intelligence and Field Activity. Her estranged husband moved 3 blocks from her Alexandria, Virginia home so he could stalk and harass her.

A lifeguard at the YMCA at which I taught lifeguard classes, named Nina Gatto, was murdered when 3 people, two men and a woman, gave her a fatal heroine overdose and covered her mouth and nose so she couldn't breathe. She was working as a police informant at the time.

A girl named Leslie who worked at the salon where I usually got my hair cut had her throat slit with a knife by her ex-boyfriend who was stalking her. The blade cut muscles in her neck and missed the artery.

The police failed to protect 2 people who filed protection orders and 1 who was working for them. None of them were killed with a gun. A 2008 study found 20% of women who filed restraining orders were killed within 2 days of filing the paperwork. 2.54 women are fatal victims of domestic violence every day or 927 victims a year compared to less than 100 people killed with an "assault weapon." Law enforcement dropped the ball in preventing several mass shootings as well. The individuals were reported to authorities or should have failed the background check that cleared them to buy a firearm.

Failure of law enforcement is being directed toward citizens.
 
~ It seems when politicians try to "fix" something they often become part of the problem - or make it worse !

Sadly she might as well be talking to a brick wall. They don't want to look at the situation objectively and come up with possible solutions, it is easier to simply blame the scary looking rifle just to say they did something even though they know it will not help in the slightest.
 
It's easiest just to keep accepting campaign money from the NRA and offering 'thoughts and prayers' after every slaughter.

Yep, I posted this video last night as well. It was very good

Nice diversion-I realize the Trump haters loathe the NRA because the NRA helped Trump but this has nothing to do with the NRA-the woman works for another group and you seem completely unable to counter what she said. Your post clearly demonstrates that your support for stupid gun laws is based on your hatred of how pro gun groups vote

Post 5 proves your point. Its political warfare that motivates most anti gun nonsense

Gun control has nothing to do with public safety.

A violent culture among citizens can't be blamed on law enforcement.
 
Creating a crisis that gives the Communists more justification to pass more laws.

Yep, when people are afraid of violent criminals and the government accentuates that fear, the sheeple are more willing to cede more rights in the silly hope it will increase their safety

Which is why we need to defend ourselves. The legal gun owners are less than 20% of those who commit gun crime.

and many of those are people involved in gang activity who are yet to be convicted of a crime
 
The best reason not to ban assault weapons is that there is no evidence that anyone has ever died because they are legal.

It's more than gun crime. It's gun violence, which includes suicide. We have a violent culture. The more gun safety measures we put into place, the more that is indicative of and affects public attitude. Public attitude is societal and becomes imbedded in our culture. That helps change our gun culture.

Sure, safety measures could help but he is talking more about gun bans, which by themselves won't change anything. Ban one gun people just buy something else that is either similar or modifiable.

The gun banning movement-which is a political weapon of the Democrat party, is the most dishonest entity in the USA political scene-and calling gun bans or laws that merely restrict those who have never harmed anyone with firearms, GUN SAFETY measures, shows how dishonest it is

There are gun safes, but there are no safe guns.

A gun ban is for purposes of safety. So, it can easily be grouped with gun safety measures.
