"President George W. Bush and Congress took a bloody powder when they failed to stand up to the gun lobby and renew a modest ban on assault weapons."
"The law that expired Monday banned the manufacture and importation of 19 kinds of military-style assault weapons, and the manufacture of magazines with more than 10 rounds. True, the ban had loopholes and gun makers dodged it by removing outlawed parts. But the government should no more have dropped the ban because it was not entirely effective than it should repeal laws against murder or crack cocaine because they haven't stopped homicides or drug sales." ... -------
Poster's Translation: Gun owners are simply criminals waiting to happen.
KABA Note: The difference is that the laws against murder punish a harmful act. Under the AWB it was entirely possible to face 10 years in federal prison for purchasing a 15 round magazine from an Undercover BATFE man who'd polished the "Law Enforcement Only" label off. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
