VPC, Ban Handguns Now, AAAW

[natedog]

I cannot even began to express the ultimate disgust I get by trying to see "there point of view". In the article "Every Handgun is Aimed at You", the author says that we as Americans are so afraid of handgun violence that it's engrained into our subconscious and we don't even think about it. It said that people are fooled by movies and TV into thinking that handguns are "good self-defense tools". Also, AAAW (Americans Against Assault Weapons) tries to use your emotions against by saying "If we don't ban Assault Weapons, our streets will once again be flooded with these weapons of war". Now when was the last time you saw an army of bangers marching down the street in full combat gear with Uzis and AKs at low ready. Here's the answer: Never. They try to paint a picture in your mind that if 1994 AWB goes away, we will be in a constant state of war. Now excuse me while I and some more.

This reminds me of Joe the barber, a Vietnam combat vet and fully convinced that Uzis should be banned. He really believes that people commit crimes with Uzis every day and just cannot comprehend the fact that according to good reports the only notorious crime ever committed with a legal Uzi occurred in Kali in 1984!

let me imitate pax for a second

"[Assault weapons'] menacing looks, coupled with the public's confusion over fully-automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons --anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun-- can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons."

yes, ban handguns because they are meant to kill....then felons buy "assault weapons"....lets ban them, they are deadly......then felons buy shotguns......so we have to ban them, they are devastatingly deadly.....oops, no more guns!

Knowing they can't simply rescind the Second Amendment, leftist extremists are contenting themselves with eviscerating it one bite at a time. I'm sure they know so-called "assault weapons" and hand guns are neither more nor less so-called "dangerous" than other firearms, but they're opportunistic parasites, and take whatever bites they can as frequently as they can.

That VPC puke actually wrote and entire BOOK called "Every Handgun is Aimed at You." I checked it out from the library and read the whole damn thing. It was so blatantly full of lies and twisted statistics that I laughed harder than I usually laugh reading the comics page.

That book made me sick I coulden't get past the intro. Its got so mush bs in it you should have a roll of toilet paper ready when reading it. I for one am shocked at how many people believe the stuff these anti gun places spit out. As far as gang bengers go they carry garbage and true junk guns! hollywood wants you to think that every criminal has a glock,sig,beretta,ak ar etc... I have a friend who is a cop and he works a gang unit and he said in all the years hes been doing this he has NEVER ONCE taken a quality gun like a glock or sig or an "asault weapon" from any banger or crook.

I was reading somewhere that the anti's use a bait and switch where they have gun turn in or buy back and get all junk and some guns that don't even work. They suposedly came from "our streets" but then they put out all glocks and other quality "hi capacity" guns and "assault weapons" and these are the photos that get released to the news papers and media. I for one am inclined to believe it. Lastly if a glock that cost me say $600 through legel channels then what does it cost a criminal on the blck market?

Yeah, HCI uses that term "flooding our streets" a lot when they're talking about "assault weapons"
