Assault RIFLES have been banned without a class III Since FDR was in office.
As for the so called "Assault Weapons" ban, you don't know if it will get out or not. And with a gun lawsuit ban languishing in the Senate with a fillabuster, there's certainly a chance it will be let out.
And that's my line in the sand. If it passes I do what I have to do.
I keep harping on this issue because our country and its form of government were made for a people who were wise enough to understand the truth. If we cease to be a people who understand the truth, we will not be fit for the kind of government that the Founding Fathers gave us. The truth is that the assault weapons ban is a bad law. The truth is that banning these guns does not make us safer. Unfortunately, we have a president who isn't standing tall to proclaim this truth. By failing to proclaim this truth, he is helping those who are making the citizens of this country less fit to enjoy the liberties that our Founding Fathers gave us. Yes, we need to win this election in the short term. We also need to win the long term battle to remain the kind of people for whom the Founding Fathers designed this country. If we fail to win in the long term, the short term victory will be hollow.
Why does it upset you so much that people remind those in power of the need to stand against a bad law?
