Kamala Harris Tries To Export California Gun Control To The Nation

U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., is pushing to export California’s gun control to the rest of the nation. And she is doing it via her efforts to renew the failed federal “assault weapons” ban.
The ban, which was in place from 1994 to 2004, correlated with lower crime, yet even the The New York Times admitted that there is no evidence that the drop in crime was a result of the “assault weapons” ban (and in fact, crime continued to drop long after the ban was allowed to expire.) Rather, the Times suggested that the ban was an extension of “the assault weapon myth” propagated by Democrats in the 1990s; a time when they were desperate to reduce the “gun crime” that was raging out of control. |

" ... there is no evidence that the drop in crime was a result of the 'assault weapons' ban (and in fact, crime continued to drop long after the ban was allowed to expire.) ...."
And the drop in crime also BEGAN earlier than the assault weapon ban's enactment.
A contemporary FBI report stated that assault weapons were used in one half of one percent of gun crimes.
They were a NONFACTOR. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
