Banning semis is banning everything except revolvers?
When will this fail Constitutional muster?

"Gun-control agitators were overjoyed when the City Council in Columbus, Ohio, unanimously passed an ordinance this month banning ownership of semi-automatic firearms."
Oh, for a Supreme Court that would slap down these weenies and their violations of 2nd Amendment rights.

An average NRA convention attracts tens of thousands of people. The Columbus Chamber of Commerce expected the 2007 event would have poured $20 million into the local economy and garnered the city copious free publicity from national news coverage.

Good move Mayor.

Gun-banning is a cult. Like Jonestown and The Davidians, it is marked by institutionalized stupidity and an unwillingness to see the real world. Cults always end in poverty or the mass deaths of their members.

Watch the crime statistics and lets see what happens. When Australia took away guns the home invasion went up 40% as well as other violent crimes.

"Councilmen said the ordinance will reduce gun violence"
Kinda like how it did in DC? Will they ever learn?

It should be remembered that this ban was presented as being against "assault weapons." Anyone who thinks this was ever anything but a deliberate misrepresentation is impossibly naive. Antigunners are liars and cheats and absolutely shameless about it.

Any politician that doesn't believe responsible law abiding citizens have a right to protect themselves and their families is a dangerous threat and should be thrown out of office.

When the Bush administration finally allowed the ban to expire last fall Isn't this a misstatement? Wouldn't the ban end no matter who was president?
