Why was he playing with assault weapons?
On Sept. 13th the law banning 19 Assault Weapons will sunset. The Government is ignoring the loss of life and injury from these weapons.
This week a 12 year old Fremont boy was shot at a family gathering while playing with assault rifles. According to the News Messenger police say there were over 30 different types of weapons seized.
Incidents like this one confirm the opinion of more than 69% of Ohioans surveyed and 87 Ohio police chiefs and the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police who favor strengthening the ban. The Washington, D.C.-based Consumer Federation of America (CFA) and Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV) commissioned the survey.
I can’t tell from the post if they mean the kid was playing with an assault rifle. Or if he was shot with one while playing. Nowhere in the post does it say what sort of gun it was. Additionally, no one asks why, since there is a ban, he was shot? I am amazed when the opposition proves the ban is ineffective.

What amazes me is not when they prove it ineffective — I see that from political activists on many issues — but that they then have the guts to claim that their ineffective policy is, infact, effective. But not just that they do it: That people fall for it.
