Why do you feel like this? Honestly..
I've said this before....because an assault weapons ban is pointless.
If we were being serious about curbing violence, which we never will be, then a ban would have to include hand guns....which will never happen.
You'll never be serious about curbing violence until:
You realize that
CAUSE and
EFFECT are not the same.
Gun violence is an
EFFECT of crime
Gun violence does not C
AUSE crime.

So what is causing crime?
Blacks and other minorities are forced to suffer from
Inferior Educational Facilities and Inferior Educational Materials (including teachers). This reduces their High School Graduation rates incredibly (what use is Affirmative Action, when most black and other minorities don't even graduate high school to being with?).
Second: Unemployment has ravaged the black community (and other minorities) more than white communities -- so far.
Without education or employment opportunities, many young blacks (and other minorities) are FORCED to turn to crime IN ORDER TO SURVIVE, or subsist minimally on government handouts IN ORDER TO SURVIVE.
The Democrats like this system, because it enslaves blacks to their handouts, and thus votes. Democrats like the crime problem, because anyone who tries to become independent of the handout system (by resorting to crime), ends up behind bars and losing their right to vote.
Republicans like this system because they can use it to appeal to RACIST WHITES to get their own votes.
Did I make it clear to you?

Cause NOT EQUAL to Effect
