WE NEED TO BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS!!! THEY ARE WEAPONS OF WAR WITH NO PLACE OUTSIDE A BATTLEFIELD.
We’ve all herd it now, and the retort is “Why do we issue police officers AR-15s and pistols with a capacity of 15 or greater?
POLICE NEEEEEED THOSE WEAPONS BECAUSE THE CRIMINALS ARE USING DEADLY ASSAULT WEAPONS WE NEED TO BAN NOW!!!11!!
Nope:
Most of the guns seized from gang members, felons and drug traffickers in eight U.S. cities over a decade were handguns, not the automatic assault rifles often depicted in Hollywood crime stories, according to a study published on Monday.
In the sample of 10,435 weapons seized by police in cities that included Los Angeles and Washington, 77 percent were handguns, and seven out of 10 of those were semi-automatic, according to the Geneva-based research project Small Arms Survey. The guns were seized from 2002 to 2012.
Less than 12 percent of the confiscated weapons were rifles, and the number of machine guns, submachine guns and machine pistols recovered by police were negligible, said the study “Small Arms Survey 2014: Women and Guns.”
Oh there’s another one! We point out that so-called “Assault Weapons” are NOT battlefield guns, as they are semi-auto only.
BUT THOSE GUNS ARE EASILY MODIFIED INTO MACHINE GUNS!!!!
Well they ARE “Easily” modified to full auto…but with that definition of “Easy” guns are also “Easily” MANUFACTURED from common household products. Of course if they were, why aren’t police finding them? Yeah, criminals don’t bother!
Gun control is carried on the backs of LIES!
What’s Ironic is that the Small Arms Survey is a Swiss Gov’t Agency that was set up in ’99 to “Monitor Small Arms PROLIFERATION around the Globe.” And it has ties to the UN.
Wonder what Watts says about how one of her “Fellow Travelers” actually told the TRUTH?
