"Guns don't kill people. People kill people."
"People with guns kill people more easily. And people with military semi-automatic assault weapons kill a whole lot of people really fast."
"We guess Congress must like that kind of thing because they decided Monday not to extend the federal ban on 19 different types of assault weapons in this country. What? Not enough blood on the streets now?"
"The ban became law in 1994 and violent crimes dropped by 26.5 percent between 1994 and 2001, according to statistics reported by State Sen. Connie Williams' (D-17) office. The NRA argues that semi-automatic weapons are rarely used in crimes, that the ban did nothing to reduce crime and repealing the ban will not increase crime." ... -------
KABA Note: That drop in crime actually started in 1991. Furthermore, the editors should know that causality is not shown merely by verbally linking events. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
