Congress != Progress
Why was the assault weapons ban of 1996 watered down and largely ineffective? because the NRA took over and wrote a bill based on nonsense like detachable stocks, flash suppressors, grips and bayonet mounts. Thus is the poison when gun lobbyists and their lackeys in Congress write gun bans.Whenever the debate starts in D.C., the NRA doesn't get to sidetrack the issue with talk about the cosmetic aspects of assault weapons. And they don't get a veto on any other discussions.
The issue is too dire to leave it to the lackeys of the gun manufacturers.
Cosmetics? Are you serious? The whole anti gun movement is based on a lie one after another lie on top of a lie.
The NRA wrote the assault weapons ban?
