In recent years liberals have been wise enough to shift their gun control focus specifically to so-called “assault weapons,” rather than all guns.
It’s no mystery why they’ve shifted that focus; banning all guns (and handguns in particular) is wildly unpopular, so they’ve instead decided to focus on the type of firearms that tend to look the “scariest” to some people. In particular, “assault rifles” like the AR-15 have been a scapegoat of the left, due to how frequently they’re the weapon of choice in highly publicized mass public shootings (though the majority of mass shootings are committed with handguns when you count gang shootings as mass shootings).
The FBI’s 2019 crime statistics are now out, and just like all their past reports, they debunk the notion that “assault weapons” pose a unique threat relative to other types of firearms – or even other commonly used murder weapons.
We all know the real reason the democratic socialist party wants our rifles.
…Prior to the American Revoluion, the British Government required colonists to break the points off their table knives to make them harder to use as weapons.
…don’t give them any ideas…
@SNS – and now, in UK you can’t buy tableware unless you’re over 18!
…and also, it’s VERY possible to win a gunfight with a knife, IF the gunman hasn’t drawn yet, hesitates to draw, or isn’t carrying with one in the chamber, as there’s a number of actions he has to make AFTER making the decision to fire, while a knife is cocked and ready at all times and is WAY easier to aim in close quarters…
No one needs more than 5 knives in a home.
If you’re having dinner for six, somebody’s only getting soup.
They’ll start with the knives, then go after the assault spoons.
They’ll get my asparagus tongs when the pry them from my cold, dead, buttery fingers.
At close contact range, a knife is actually a deadlier weapon than a gun if the user knows how to fight with it.

They’ll be terrified once the 21 foot rule gets more attention. That’s the distance a knife wielding attacker can close in to strike before you can draw and fire. It’s got lots of precedent too.
I get the feeli g that is about to change real soon
A firearm is to self protection as a coat hanger is to prenatal care.
Medical errors are the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. Maybe we should ban doctors.
only commie ****-suckers support gun control
We need “common sense” knife control!
Ban Assault Knives!
actually, the stupid idiot Limeys already banned assault knives.
It reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Moe Sizlak chases Kang & Kodos, armed with a board with a nail in it. The Democrat Party’s insatiable socialist craving to disarm the American people will never be satisfied.
