No Need For "Assault" Weapons Ban
Hawkeye:
If you listen to the anti-gun crowd you would think the so called "assault weapon," which is really nothing more then a magazine fed rifle that is black with a scary pistol grip, is a menace that must be reigned in.
No so fast says the FBI.
--- Quote ---The FBI has released their 2007-2011 “Murder Victims by Weapon” report. The results are contradictory to anti-gun industry claims that relaxing the ban on assault weapons will cause more crime.
The report indicates you are more likely to be killed by hands or feet than by a rifle or shotgun.

That's right, hands and feet. Hurry and buy your Nike's and Isotoners before they are banned too!!
--- Quote --- In 2011 there were 356 shotgun murders and 323 rifle murders for a total of 679 murders.
--- End quote ---
It is estimated that there is somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 millions gun owners in this country (legal owners). While any murder is tragic, the epidemic of "assault Weapon" violence just does not exist, it is a made-up phenomenon.

So that's what they mean when people say their feet are killing them! :D
Lumspond:
I'm wondering what the "97 other guns" are, if not rifle, shotgun, handgun. Potato gun or what?
Obleo:
The gun control crowd buried their teeth into the military style weapons and are shacking it like wolves. With every TV show and every movie proving that everyone has one and they are all fully automatic and LE is always out gunned and sometimes even cars explode when shot with one, why believe anything else. Good citizens just happening by are shot repeatedly and each shot knocks their body 10 feet and every van that is opened and every house raided prove yet again how much these evil elements have multiplied and corrupted all men.
If its not an AK or AR its a Glock. Every show!

You can pretty much bank on an assault weapons ban as a federal law again...soon. Oh well perhaps they should be.
