SSDD from the gun grabbers.

They KNOW that approximately 1 MILLION 'assault rifles' were sold DURING the ban. And that the CDC and DOJ BOTH put out studies stating that the ban didn't do ANYTHING (didn't reduce or increase crime in any way)... but they still try to push their 'feel good' laws.

One of THE worst things I heard one of those politicians say about it... "...it addresses the right of every American to feel safe"

WTF? Where in the Constitution does it say Americans have a RIGHT to feel anything??

As for 'armor peircing'... yeah, there are cartridges with steel core 'penetrators'. Depleted uranium is NOT available to civillians in any way/shape/form. IIRC, DU is only used in large caliber cartridges used by the military, i.e., 20 and 30mm cannon shells (think A-10 Warthog here).

As for what Civilllians have access to, any old .30-06 'hunting rifle' will more than penetrate any armor vests our police use. Almost EVERY rifle cartridge will. That's why they call it 'bullet resistant', not 'bullet proof'.

Another aspect of 'assault rifles' that I have never really seen addressed in the media is that they are 'intermediate powered' rifle cartridges. The AK47 clones, and AR15s use an 'intermediate' power cartridge, while deadly, is significantly less powerful than most more common rifle cartridges like the .30-06, .308, .270, etc etc.

The dems pushing for the ban preach fear and doom... they want to scare the sheep into thinking they are in danger. Sadly, the tactic has worked before.... but I think that there are a lot of people waking up from the funk. I've heard more and more about die hard liberals and gun haters changing their mind when they realize the government and police CAN'T protect them.
