Sean Sachdev, who is apparently either an idiot or a liar, writes:

The recent repeal of the assault weapon is the one of the most illogical, unreasonable and undemocratic actions undertaken by our federal government,

The ban wasn’t repealed. It had a sunset clause because without that clause it never would have passed. The effects of the ban were to be studied to determine if it affected crime. It was shown to have no impact on crime.

Under the ban, military style automatic weapons could no longer be imported or sold on the streets of our nation.

The ban did not affect military style automatic weapons it affected semi-automatic weapons that looked like military style automatic weapons but were identical in function to most hunting rifles. The rest of the article is hysteria based on this lie.

And, unsurprisingly, the Brady Campaign has let loose with some new lies and blames Bush for the ban’s sunset.
