***The governor claims his law bans sales of military-style assault weapons.***
They have always wanted to get rid of anything military for the last fifty three years.
Back in 1962, they wanted to register ONLY HANDGUNS, and ban the import of those “evil” 5 shot bolt action Army surplus rifles, to prevent “crime”.
In reality they wanted to ban those low cost army rifles to protect their own gun industries of Winchester, Remington and Savage, so they had to “manufacture” crime statistics to try. When John Kennedy was murdered with an Italian army surplus rifle it was, to them, the icing on the cake.
Every few years the gun banners will chose something to demonize in hopes of getting a ban. Some they win, most they don’t so they keep pounding away.
In the 1930s it was Thompsons and sawed off shotguns used by criminals.
In the 1960s it was the 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifle and “Saturday night special”.
In the 1970s it was domestic manufactured handguns.
In the 1980s it was revolving shotguns and “assault rifles”.
In the 1990s it was the single shot 50 cal rifle.
And the beat goes on...
BTTT.
