New York Times Admits "Assault Weapon" A Myth

[RStewart]

Didn't see this anywhere. The NYT has admitted all the hoopla about "assault weapons" is a myth.

"But in the 10 years since the previous ban lapsed, even gun control advocates acknowledge a larger truth: The law that barred the sale of assault weapons from 1994 to 2004 made little difference.

It turns out that big, scary military rifles don’t kill the vast majority of the 11,000 Americans murdered with guns each year. Little handguns do.

In 2012, only 322 people were murdered with any kind of rifle, F.B.I. data shows."

Proposals to ban any class of firearms are nothing more than the continuation of the process that the Federal government started in 1968 with their Nazi GCA. Yes, it was written using a transcript of the Nazi GCA of 1938 that was translated to English by the Library of Congress. Hitler wrote the gun control "law of the land."

*We spent a whole bunch of time and a whole bunch of political capital yelling and screaming about assault weapons,* Mayor Mitchell J. Landrieu of New Orleans said. He called it a *zero sum political fight about a symbolic weapon.*

Mr. Landrieu and Mayor Michael A. Nutter of Philadelphia are founders of Cities United, a network of mayors trying to prevent the deaths of young black men. *This is not just a gun issue, this is an unemployment issue, it’s a poverty issue, it’s a family issue, it’s a culture of violence issue,* Mr. Landrieu said.


Wow, I found something that I agree with Landrieu on! Even he admits that there is a lot more involved than just guns.
