“Assault Clips” Count the Lies

So I thought I’d pile on to the latest Brady Campaign Video “Ban Assault Clips”

I thought we’d count the lies. First let’s overlook the emotional stupidity of the video, like the various human-shaped targets, and how the man with the Glock takes on a menacing snarl as he shoots.

Lie #1. “A Magazine that Allows a Gun to fire 32 shots in less than 16 seconds”, well the magazines don’t actually do shit they hold the ammo. When aligning the sights of my FAL I loaded up a pair of 20 round magazines and took about 40 mins to shoot all of them, meanwhile somebody with skill can easily shatter that time with limited magazines So the magazines are irrelevant.

Lie #2 “Only good for one thing, killing a lot of people fast”. Which is what police officers do? Which is what the millions of people who own pistols, and rifles that hold more than 10 rounds do? If that was all they were good for we wouldn’t have much of a population would we? Also Seems that lots of instances where there were a lot of people killed fast, magazines that are compliant with anti-gunners were used. Also to that we can add the School Shooting in Brazil, where a pair of six-shot revolvers were used.

Lie #3: “That’s something we can live without: Assault Clips” ummm “Assault Clips”? You mean like this? Its a made-up term. Hell they even correctly call it a Magazine at the beginning of the video. Still how does a magazine do ANYTHING? There are no “Four rules of magazine safety”. Sorry they don’t do much outside of their gun, let alone assault anybody or anything.

Lie #4: “They make everybody a target”: Ummm, how does the magazine loaded in the gun have anything to do with how its used? Let’s say you’re mugged walking home, if the mugger has a revolver are you safe? I carry a 1911 with 8-round magazines, does this mean I’m defenseless? Collin Goddard was shot from a ban-limeted 10-round Glock magazine, what’s he whining about?

That’s about all the blatant lies. Here’s one more that’s more of a half-truth.

They show a glock getting loaded up with a 32-round Glock magazine, but the laws the Brady camp are pushing ban anything that holds more than 10 rounds. This was the exact same shell game the Brady Campaign did back in the 90s when they’d show somebody shooting a full-auto rifle, and then they’d talk about banning semi-auto rifle.

Sorry, they’re after your magazines, and since 10 rounds is a 100% arbitrary number they’re playing “The Numbers Game”, and they’re just as willing to make up another arbitrary restriction. Frankly they’re going to ban all guns, hence why they’re being so dishonest in all their media. Heck they won’t even let you comment or rate the above video. They’re so dishonest they can’t even show the world how popular they are.

They are liars, and they know it. Don’t give them an inch!
