'Assault Weapon' - PR Stunt To Fool Gullible

[Dale00]

Great article in Forbes Magazine. Let's hope it gets read widely.

Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) has announced that she will be introducing legislation to reenact the ban on so-called assault weapons that she authored in 1994. The evidence is in on the effect of her previous assault weapons ban: zero, zilch, nada, as the saying goes. The ban made no perceptible difference in the gun violence statistics when it went into effect, and no perceptible difference when it was allowed to expire 10 years later, in 2003.

That is because the term “assault weapon” is just a PR stunt that fools the gullible and easily deluded. It is defined in legislation by cosmetic features that frighten white bread suburbanites, but do not involve any functionality of any gun. We tried it, conservatives said it wouldn’t work, and it didn’t work. Yet, it is the liberal answer to the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Conn....

The problem is that the gullible vote.

They do, and when they are led by the waste lands of the media like CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC and of course the social media, the sheepole , don't need much to get them to fall in line with those pukes.

Great article from Forbes, they've published several extremely well written pro-2A pieces in the last few days. I've been pleasantly surprised by their apparent support of logic, reason, and individual rights and liberty.
