It has always been about handguns. Assault rifles are just a decoy to try and get their anti-gun foot in the door.
Once they get a ban on AWs then they will use the same reasons to go after handguns.
John Kennedy killed with a 5 shot bolt action rifle.
Medgar Evers, shot with a 5 shot 1917 bolt action Enfield rifle.
Martin Luther King, shot with a 4 shot Remington 760 pump action Gamemaster rifle.
Bobby Kennedy with a .22 Iver Johnson Cadet revolver.
George Wallace wounded with a 5 shot Charter Arms .38spl revolver.
Gerald Ford attacked with a 7 shot 1911 semi auto.
Edmond OK post office with two National Guard 7 shot 1911 pistols.
Ronald Reagan and Jim Brady with an RG-14 .22 revolver.
What do they all have in common? NONE over 7 rounds, yet after each one came a cry of panic to ban them.
The anti-gunners will not stop when they get a 10 round limit on magazine capacity.
The fact they also want to ban the 10 round SKS proves that.
However, in the case of the current gun grabbers, they think this is their closest opportunity to get the sweeping bans they want.
No more grandfathering, but possession bans and confiscation. This has always been the Left’s wet dream and they're telling gun owners to “hand them over or ‘we’ will kill you”.
OK, you've got the hard part done there, Skippy. Now, let's get down to the “wet work” shall we? I guarantee you a**holes on the Left aren't going to like the blowback.
