Facts don't suck, people twisting them to try to say sh*t that they don't mean suck. How do you get supporting an assault weapon ban to equate to supporting the ban of ALL weapons? Show where in history, the democratic party's platform advocates the repeal of ALL guns.
They dont, because they know better then to say it. Why do you think Democrats always give their fake poses with shotguns? To show they "Dont support a gun ban".
Now, AGAIN, I tell you compare the gun laws and gun movements in Democratic controlled areas versus those in Republican controlled areas.
What about all the noise about when the AWB was going to expire? You know, AK's and uzi's out of ice cream trucks? What about all the noise and scare every time a state passes CCW or Castle Doctrine? Blood in the streets and all that jazz.
As for the Brady Bill, if you think that is the reason that the Repugs took control in the mid 90's, you need to lay off the sauce. The repugs are able to speak to the simple minded in catchy 15 second sound bites and catchy slogans that stick in todays ADHD society's heads. To their credit, they took marketing to a whole new level and were very successful doing so.
Perhaps. I can guarentee you though the AWB was a big part of it.
But a decade later, we are seeing that they were and are, all style and no substance. That is why they won't be where they are much longer. Even their own base is finally recognizing it.
I certainly wont disagree. As I said, I have little use for either side of the isle so dont think of me as trying to bash Democrats. But the fact remains on the issue of guns the Democrats are the ones who push for restrictions and bans.
