I.A. Of Police Chiefs response to Obama's Gun Proposals

Assault Weapons Ban
"First passed in 1994, the assault weapons ban required domestic gun
manufacturers to stop production of semiautomatic assault weapons and
ammunition magazines holding more than ten rounds except for military or
police use. While the ban was in place, it was remarkably effective in
reducing the number of crimes involving assault weapons. In the period of
the ban, (1994‐2004) the proportion of assault weapons traced to crimes
fell by a dramatic 66 percent."

A 66% drop in a category that comprises a bit over 1% of all gun crime. Meanwhile, it did nothing whatever to stop the Columbine massacre.

Of course, conveniently omitted is the fact that 'assault rifles' only accounted for about 1% of firearms related crime to begin with.

ZOUNDS! A whopping 66% reduction in 1% of firearms crimes! STOP THE PRESSES!

This is a start in the right direction, keep the ball rolling.

Further evidence that the fascistic parasites are dumb as a stick. Only the retards would conclude that moving closer to tyranny is the right direction
