Video of Weasley Clark on Geraldo at Large 03-15-09 Calling for Re-instatement of US Assault Weapons Ban to Stop Mexican Violence
Liberals fail at logic.
Approximately 50 million AKs in several different versions have been manufactured in many different countries since it was adopted as the main battle rifle of the Soviet Red army soon after WWII. The Russians and the former USSR republics adopted a newly designed rifle as their battle rifle several years ago, and a large portion of now obsolescent 7.62x39mm AK47 and 5.45x39mm AK74 rifles are currently in illegal circulation throughout the 3rd world. The black market going price in Africa for a well used but serviceable AK-47 is around $5O to $60 US, and they're available to anyone who can pay the price. I doubt that the Mexican drug runners buy their AKs in Africa, but I imagine the Latin American black market price is not a great deal higher than the African price.
A US ban on cosmetically similar semiauto copies of full auto "assault weapons" for the alleged purpose of preventing Mexican drug gangs from acquiring the actual full auto weapons will be equally as successful as outlawing marijuana and cocaine has been. Of course that's not the real reason the antis want to ban them, they want to ban all firearms and those are the most vulnerable because they can be easily misrepresented as full auto machine guns to the average American voter who knows very little about the difference between military firearms and military styled firearms. The Democratic Congress has the votes to ban anything that they and Obamassiah don't want us to have, and it's up to us to let them know that the millions of American voters who believe in and support the constitutional right to keep and bear arms can and will make them pay at the ballot box for any unconstitutional restrictions they put on that right.
The idiot also called for amnesty for illegal aliens and for not putting up the wall down there. What is Clark thinking???
PS. Clark supports HR 45 and serialization of ammunition too.
Problem is that Clark is going to be the next SECDEF....
The Russians now use the AK-74m, the AK-107, and the AEK-971 (5.45) as its primary weapons, with the AK-109 and the AK-103 (7.62) being mixed in.
Sickening thought, but with Obama, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Additionally, that might be why he want’s our guns so badly, the sissy boy knows he may have to fight us.
With what? If that guy becomes SECDEF, there will be massive resignations. If Obama goes tyrannical with Clark at that post, there will be desertions and possibly an uprising within the ranks.
Well then it might not be all bad news. ;>)
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE DUMMIES??? This war is about who controls the ILLEGAL DRUG TRADE which are already TOTALLY AND ABSOLUTELY ILLEGAL. Furthermore they have to be continually replaced (unlike an “assault weapon”) as they are consumed by the customer. None of this TOTAL ILLEGALITY seems to impede drug dealers overmuch.
Do gun grabbers have to practice to be this stupid or does it come to them naturally???
