"The weapon that gunman Kenneth Anderson used in a deadly shootout with police last Wednesday was an SKS assault rifle. Three people were killed, including Anderson."
"An Indiana group wants that weapon banned along with all other so-called 'assault weapons'. They pressured politicians at a news conference Tuesday to take the guns off the streets once and for all."
"The group in favor of gun control says the current ban on assault weapons has done nothing to stop the sales of keep these high-powered guns. With the 1994 ban set to run out next month they want to put more firepower into it." ... -------
KABA Note: The SKS is specifically exempted from the 1994 ban. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
