Kerry Tells Bush to 'Get Real' on Assault Weapons (Reuters)

If it wasn't obvious before, it should be now: idiocy has no political affiliation. The ban on so called assault rifles was a bogus political move by Bill Clinton iin 1994: the "dangerous" banned weapons are semi-automatic rifles, the full auto versions have been outlawed since the 1930's. I would ask you to note the weapons used most often in gun violence: handguns and shotguns. How did banning more than 10 shots in a clip effect those weapons?

The ban on semiautomatic assault rifles certainly didn't deter the DC snipers, now did it? And a terrorist using a such a gun is ludicrous: these are folks who routinely smuggle RPG's, for Pete's sake!

Get real, indeed Sen. Kerry.

Reuters - Democratic candidate John Kerry on Friday said President Bush's failure to fight for a renewal of a ban on assault weapons will make it easier for terrorists to get the lethal weapons.
