There may not be such a rule or there may be and it has just not been well-communicated throughout the Bureau or to the public. If it does exist, it may not even be new -- this just may be the first time anyone has called it to wider attention. That such a determination is not (yet?) listed with other Rulings proves nothing either, as that list being incomplete is deemed by some critics to be what those who make arbitrary decisions prefer." ... |

"'Liberal gun-controllers never ever give up,' says WND columnist Bob Just. He should know. A quarter century ago he was involved in combating a campaign eerily similar to today’s stridently emotional push to ban 'semiautomatic assault weapons.'" ... |

"The real reason to fear forcible citizen disarmament has now been revealed. Because it renders law-abiding citizens defenseless against the lawless predators who would destroy them? Because a disarmed citizenry is a citizenry whose wrath the government need not fear, and is thus a citizenry that can be oppressed with impunity? Because a disarmed citizenry is, indeed, a citizenry that can be slaughtered in the tens of millions by its own government, any time that government wishes?
Don't be silly. This is serious stuff. The real reason to fear 'gun control' is that it could make violent movies and TV shows less realistic. From the New York Times:" ... |

"I gotta admit, I’ve never been drawn to AR pistols. The guns have reliability issues, ear-splitting muzzle blast and so-so ballistic performance. And those are just the minor issues. The real deal-killer: accuracy. I can no more hit the target with an AR pistol than I can by throwing a piece of popcorn at the bullseye. Others have tried and failed to make AR pistols more functional. Now SIG SAUER is entering the fray, selling a $139 doodad—the SB15 Pistol Stabilizing Brace—that might succeed.

"America has a gun problem. America's children have a gun problem. The massacre of twenty little school children at Sandy Hook ... appeared at least initially to be a tipping point in America's attitude towards gun violence, especially gun violence against children. However, the initial despair and outrage has yet again seemingly given way to cultural indifference and numbness towards the never ending string of deaths to children at the hands of lethal firearms. ... We continue to live in a nation that accepts the slaughter of innocent children as mere collateral damage in the war to preserve our rights to own any damn gun we please and to leave it unlocked and unsecured as we see fit. ..." ...

Submitter's Note: (All numbers are annual averages from 2001 - 2010, "children" are people 12 and under) I would hardly call 151 children murdered with a firearm a "slaughter of the innocents", especially when compared to the 771 murdered with something other than a firearm, or the 1,011 who accidentally suffocate, or the 709 who drown, or the 415 who die in fires, or the 6,372 who die from 'congenital anomalies, or the 2,259 who die from SIDS or the . . . but you get the point. |
