M14 Shooter
The Light of Truth
Not a week goes by without some anti-gun loon stinking up my media feeds with the claim "The US banned assault weapons once and it worked!!
A long-winded example of this can be found here, from one such loon who apparently gets paid by the word:
law.stanford.edu
We've all seen this nonsense, right?
Two unassailable points wreck the entire argument:
Democrats continue to push for these unnecessary, ineffective, and unconstitutional bans because they know a citizenry armed with AR15s cannot be herded into boxcars.
To this end, they continue to push their lies and logical fallacies because they know they can prey upon the emotions of the ignorant, and lie faster than they can be proven wrong.
Their useful idiots, of course, mindlessly repeat the lies they are given because that's what useful idiots do,
Sadly, when the SC finally puts this idiocy to rest by ruling the painfully obvious - magazine fed semi-automatic firearms of any configuration are among the "bearable arms" protected by the Constitution, and therefore cannot be banned from manufacture, sale, purchase, ownership, or legal use - Democrats will openly ignore the court and continue to restrict these firearms in any end every way they can think of.
They simply hate the right to keep and bear arms and will do everything they can to make it as hard as possible for the law abiding to exercise it.
We don't wonder why.

The Assault Weapon Ban Saved Lives | Stanford Law School
Our recent New York Times article provided important new empirical evidence that the federal assault weapons ban (AWB) – in place from 1994-2004 –

We've all seen this nonsense, right?
Two unassailable points wreck the entire argument:
- That 'mass shootings' went down after Congress enacted ban, and went up after the ban sunset, does not in any way necessitate the ban had anything to do with either. This is a post hoc fallacy; if the only 'proof' you have of cause and effect is the effect you cite came after the cause you claim, you really and truly have nothing.
- The ban neither reduced number of existing guns, nor prohibited the manufacture and sale of new guns with exactly the same functions and effect - as such, it did nothing to reduce access to 'assault weapons'. As the ban did not reduce access to these guns, it could not have had an effect on the number of shootings, as people had the same, if not greater, access to them during the ban than they had before.
