Representative Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY) (D-Bronx) and 91 other Democrats sent a letter to Obama this week asking him to go even further with his executive actions and ban the import of "assault weapons."
Engel wrote the letter, in which he claimed "a mass shooting on average each day this year in this country." He described Obama's executive action to expand background checks as "important," then asked Obama to use the language of the Gun Control Act of 1968 to stop "assault weapons" from entering the country....

Bring in more Muslim killers.
Ban the guns we need to use to defend ourselves.
Great plan!
He’s already got enough in the military at every level.
Commanders too.
And we are supposed to believe Obama did not ask them to do this. Right.
Make that:
Bring in more Muslim killers.
Ban the guns we need to use to defend ourselves.
Give Iran the bomb.
I am so sick of these people.
...Engel wrote the letter, in which he claimed “a mass shooting on average each day this year in this country.”

When will someone demand that he specify the mass shootings that he has referred to? It would be all over the news if such had happened. ...The FBI, I think, counts a mass shooting as 3-4 victims at a time. ....Nothing like that has happened “on average” (?) every day this year.
Ban the import of cars.
I bet this has nothing to do with American jobs....
I’m guessing he’s using statistics from Detroit and Chi-Raq...hahahaha
That is exactly how they get these figures. Subtract out the black on black killings and the ‘mass killings’ are few and far between.
Ah but do the morons know what an “assault weapon” is?
But they’re not going to ban the export of them...right?
Fine - by definition, semi-autos are NOT assault weapons.
Good thing two companies make AK’s in the good old USA
1989-Import Ban on Assault Weapons
So there! :)
When Democrats try to strike us down, we become that much stronger.
Yeah, I just made the same point, without seeing your post.
They’ve forgotten the lesson that Gore demonstrated. Bush wouldn’t have won if Gore had taken WV, a Democrat state. With his anti-gun rhetoric Gore had a snowball’s chance in hell of taking the state.
I knew when Charlton Heston visited he was wasting his time. The state was a lock for Bush. If you check, you’ll find too that Obama never visited the state to campaign.
