Getting in the game
The VPC has launched a website to promote the renewal of the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 that is set to expire in just under a year. The site is here. A quick review of the site yields the same old lies that the VPC and Brady Bunch have been spouting for years. It does have a neat chart detailing pre and post ban models here. Seems they’re conceding the current Assault Weapons ban is pointless and gearing up for a bigger fight.
The solution proposed by the VPC is:
To accomplish the goal of ridding our streets of assault weapons, the new law must ban all–not just some–semiautomatic assault rifles, pistols, and shotguns.
Now they want to ban all of them. And note the list of supporters. The usual suspects.
For some real humor, check this out. It explains assault weapons spray-fire design and calls them bullet hoses. It calls the Bushmaster XM15 an assault weapon. Mind you, the XM15 is not banned by the AWB of 1994.
Also, here’s an interesting article on a proposed ban of Sniper Rifles, which calls the XM15 a sniper rifle. I suppose now the terms assault weapons and sniper rifles are interchangeable.
