Register still blaming guns for criminal's actions.

The Register this morning has another "we hate guns" editorial spouting the evils of the so called "assault weapons". First, "assault weapon" is a term invented by the gun haters to make a rifle sound more menacing. A true assault rifle is the standard arm of every soldier in every military in the world. They have a selector switch that allows full-auto or semi-auto fire. The National firearms act of 1934 (NFA34) strictly controls who may own and use "machine guns" in this Country. To own one, you must pass a background check that can take up to 6 months to complete, pay a 200 dllar fee to the government (tax) and live in a state that will allow you to own them.

The gun haters however, will never let a small detail like that get in their way. Take this quote from gun haterJosh Sugarman;

"Assault weapons—just like armor-piercing bullets, machine guns, and plastic firearms—are a new topic. The weapons' menacing looks, coupled with the public's confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun—can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons. In addition, few people can envision a practical use for these weapons."
-Josh Sugarmann, Assault Weapons and Accessories in America, 1988

Sugarman would have done Goebbels proud. Repeat the lie often enough and it will eventually be seen as the truth. They use deliberate misconception to try and further their agenda. And make no mistake, gun control has nothing to do with guns. It is strictly about control.

One of the blatant lies in the editorial was that you can go online and buy a arsenal. Technically, that is true. They leave out the part about how any gun purchased on the internet has to go through their local dealer to be legal. I don't know of any gun dealers that would jeopardize their licence over a unlawful sale. I know I won't. I have too much time and money invested in my FFL to throw it away over a few dollars.

The Politicians were so fast to jump on the "ban them all" band wagon over the weekend I though the boat would sink. Most of them were spouting all the same tired talking points. "Assault weapons" are evil and must be banned. I don't understand why the gun haters can't wait to dance in the blood of the victims. Spouting that other tired lie about hunting. I've read the Constitution a few times and even have a copy handy. I have yet to find the word hunting anywhere. Looking through there id did find "The right of the people" several times, including in the 2nd Amendment. Also, the last 4 words of the 2nd Amendment stood out, "shall not be infringed". Am I the only person that knows what that means?

Over a year ago I sent a invitation to the editorial board to take them to the range for class and a shooting session on me. I never did get a response. They either think I'm fooling with them or they are truly afraid that their view will be changed.
