Obama’s plan to ban “Assault Weapons”
This smacks of ignorance. Ignorance in those proposing it and ignorance in those of us who believe it.
I have 2 problems with this new angle to ban “Assault Weapons” in the US.
1. The problem with Assault Weapons (if there really is such a thing) is the person who is using it, not the weapon itself. How much of an education do you have to have to understand that simple truth? For instance, a drunk behind the wheel of a car turns that car into an “Assault Weapon”. There are more people killed every year by the “Assault Weapon” car of a drunk driver than by a Semi-Automatic Rifle. So if you use the same logic that the government is using on “Assault Weapons” then they should start banning cars next week.
2. Ban “Assault Weapons” so we can help out the Mexican Government handle the Drug Cartels? Why would we want to help the Mexican Government do anything? Are they helping us with our illegal immigrant problem? Hell yes they are! They are telling their migrant workers and criminals to cross the border to the US for free housing and medical care.
Take rights away from the law abiding US citizens because our government is incapable, unwilling or afraid to tackle the real problems. That is exactly the backward ignorant thinking that has gotten our country into the mess we are in.
The solutions are simple.
1. Make the punishment for using a firearm in an illegal activity a serious penalty. Arrest the culprits, prosecute them swiftly and nail them to the wall, it will deter others from using firearms in illegal activities.
2. CLOSE OUR BORDERS! – If illegal’s cannot cross the borders, then how can they smuggle firearms back across into Mexico?
The Government Stimulus package passed while Law Abiding Citizens were still armed. What will the Government pass after they disarm all of Law Abiding Citizens?????
