Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti mayors support assault weapons ban, stricter gun laws [View all]discntnt_irny_srcsm
(18,783 posts)"Assault weapons' menacing looks, coupled with the public's confusion over fully-automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons --anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun-- can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons."
"One tenet of the National Rifle Association's faith has always been that handgun controls do little to stop criminals from obtaining handguns. For once, the NRA is right and America's leading handgun control organization is wrong. Criminals don't buy guns in gun stores. That's why they're criminals. But it isn't criminals who are killing most of the 20,000 to 22,000 people who die from handguns each year. We are."
And my favorite:
"The NRA is Right: But We Still Need to Ban Handguns," (emphasis mine)
Why would I want smear him... or even the ink from any of those quotes?
