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. |
