The Corrupt Anti-Gun Industry In Action
Advertisements [?]
If it wasnt for that damn first amendment i would ask that misinformation like this be deamed illegal.

The deadly toll caused by semiautomatic assault weapons reached its zenith in the early 1990's, before the federal ban was enacted, when gang members, drug dealers and paramilitary extremists terrorized our communities. Those were the days of drive-by shootings, workplace massacres, and police shootouts.

Thank god we passed the assault weapons bans. Now america is free from drive-by shootings, workplace massacres, and police shootouts. <sarcasm>

Criminals chose assault weapons because of their rapid fire and easy concealment, and these dangerous characteristics proved a deadly combination to police officers on the street.

Yes, its much easier to conceal a semi-auto rifle as compared to a semi-auto pistol.

Assault weapons are designed with military features intended for combat, not sport.

Damn, shooting yourself in the foot. Sarah should read Miller before writing this crap.

But some unscrupulous manufacturers have sought to thwart the intent of Congress by changing the names of banned assault weapons or making slight changes to evade the military characteristics test. Unfortunately, neither the Bush nor Clinton Administrations took action to stop such dangerous conduct.

Too funny. You came up with a gun ban that was so fucking stupid that all the manufacture had to do was change the name of his gun to make it legal. And then you think the president is going to be dumb enough to mention that a law he passed is only stopping guns with a certain name from being manufactured? Like he wants voters knowing that shit. But i guess following your ban to the tee is unscrupulous

Rep. DeLay has teamed up with the National Rifle Association (NRA) to kill the Federal Assault Weapon Ban and make AK47s legal again.

No, Tom is teaming up with the NRA so that the gun can say AK47 once again and not SAR1. Didnt you read what you wrote? The AK is still made today. They just changed the name and removed a few of the military characteristics....the bayonet lug. You anti's got to be the dumbest fucking people on the planet.

And this is a my little thread on the missinformation given by the corrupt anti-gun industry.
