So you're saying that before we had the Middle East muddied with republican lies, everyone knew assault weapons were unnecessary and now that fear has kicked in, it's a single digit difference?
And he still has a higher approval rating than bush
No it means that people are starting to see through the Democratic lies about guns that look like assault rifles.
Actually, its noting assault rifles, NOT, 'look alike' assault rifles. But after the next deadly mass shooting, people will shift once more towards what the Democrats are proposing. By limiting how firearms fall into the wrong hands can also reduce potential attacks. By allowing an easier access to firearms allows more potential 'lone wolves' to attack. Either way its ugly, but society will decide what it can and can not live with....

noun
noun: assault rifle; plural noun: assault rifles
a rapid-fire, magazine-fed automatic rifle designed for infantry use.
No, what the ban concerns is semi-automatic magazine fed weapons built on an assault rifle frame.
Now of course, there are some talented shooters, who, after years of practice can squeeze off enough rounds in a semi automatic while changing magazines to come very close to the 600 or more rounds a minute that an actual assault rifle is capable of.
This is the bullshit that congress came up with:
Semi-automatic rifles able to accept detachable magazines and two or more of the following:
Folding or telescoping stock
Pistol grip
Bayonet mount
Flash suppressor, or threaded barrel designed to accommodate one
Grenade launcher mount <<<<< This one got me, since a grenade launcher is an NFA weapon needing a special permit,
Semi-automatic pistols with detachable magazines and two or more of the following:
Magazine that attaches outside the pistol grip
Threaded barrel to attach barrel extender, flash suppressor, handgrip, or suppressor
Barrel shroud safety feature that prevents burns to the operator
Unloaded weight of 50 oz (1.4 kg) or more
A semi-automatic version of a fully automatic firearm.
Semi-automatic shotguns with two or more of the following:
Folding or telescoping stock
Pistol grip
Detachable magazine.
Bottom line, the law was bullshit, and the current idea for such a ban is even more bullshit.
All anyone has to do to keep selling the guns that jackasses want banned is to make a few cosmetic changes. Drop the pistol grip, put an enlarged stock with a place to put your thumb, does the same job and it is legal.
Remove the flash suppressor, big deal. Take off the bayonet lug, no problem.
There are firearms based on the AR15 out already with those changes.
Personally, I prefer my M1A to the my bushmaster (AR style rifle) larger caliber, longer range, and IMO a hell of a lot more accurate. After that, either of my model 70 bolt actions.
No, the jackasses are trying to figure out how to get one group of weapons so it is easier to ban another group.
Its a bullshit money wasting idea to try and stop gun related crimes.
But then, I am presently trying to run down a ww2, bolt action, magazine fed 20mm anti tank rifle that was made in Finland. Never know, might come in handy.
