Assault rifles are back! Big time!

[spin]

12. That is a revision of history. There was no ban! The sad part is...

that many people who are not familiar with firearms will believe that was indeed a real ban when they see that falsehood repeated enough.

It's somewhat similar to the Republicans saying that if you raise taxes on the rich you will kill jobs as it is the rich who create the jobs. If that were true then the rich in this nation with all their tax breaks would be creating so many jobs that everyone who wanted a job would be able to pick and choose where he/she wanted to work. (I will admit that the rich have created a lot of jobs overseas by outsourcing.)

Unfortunately some people will always believe a falsehood. People who oppose firearms will continue to believe that the AWB was a great success killed by the nasty NRA and Republicans will continue to believe that raising taxes on the super rich is a terrible idea and is a socialist idea.
