Wow! A glimmer of truth in Assault Weapons Ban coverage

Here is a rather informative article on the assault weapons ban. More telling is this particular quote:

Assault weapon or not? Advocates on all sides of the issue confess to being confused. To many, the correct answer darts like a moving target somewhere between “depends on how it’s used” and “whatever the law says.”

Such questions have compelled the most ardent gun-control groups to argue against extending the assault weapons ban — at least in its present form.

“The public believes there is an assault weapons ban when there isn’t,” said Kristen Rand, legislative director for the Washington-based Violence Policy Center. “You can’t argue with a straight face that the ban has been effective.”

Even the anti-gunners are admitting the current ban is pointless.

    Of course, in the case of the VPC, their argument is: This ban is useless, so we need to make it STRONGER!

  2. Kevin Baker Says:

    Diane Feinstain argues with a straight face that the AWB was effective. Guess she hasn’t gotten the most recent VPC talking-points.

  3. d Says:

    VPC, et. al. have a very “nuanced” idea on the ban. It’s been very effective except when it hasn’t…

  4. Kerry A Says:

    Of course the public believes there’s a ban… anti-freedom bastards like the VPC have been continually lying to them about what an assault weapon really is.

  5. Thibodeaux Says:

    And the newspaper reporter CONSTANTLY get the details of the so-called “ban” wrong. The ban did NOT make “assault weapons” illegal. It made the manufacture of new firearms with certain features or names illegal.

    I don’t know if this is because lies or just plain laziness on the part of the journalists.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
