More Scaremongering
More lies from the lying liars that tell them:
That there is still strong opposition to extending the weapons ban in spite of its obvious merits speaks to the power of the nation’s gun lobby, which has fought every effort for sensible gun control.
Huh? The NRA supported the gun control laws of 1968 and 1986. And the Brady bill. And the NICS bill.
But none of the rhetoric from the National Rifle Association can stand up to the facts. The percentage of assault weapons used in crimes since the original ban passed has been reduced by two-thirds. There is simply no justification for making military-style assault weapons available to the general public.
This claim has been refuted many times. Actual usage in crime has remained less than 0.25% prior to and after the ban.
