Anti-gun House Democrats have launched an effort to ban so-called "assault weapons" for a second time, more than ten years after the original ban, which was signed into law by former President Bill Clinton, expired in 2004.
California Congresswoman Janice Hahn- talking about "assault weapons," told reporters, "They're not for hunting, they're not for target practice. These are weapons of war, designed to inflict the maximum amount of death and injury."
Hillary Clinton, the seemingly inevitable Democrat-party nominee for president, has also proposed an assault rifle ban of her own. Her proposed ban limits high-capacity magazines in an effort, she claims, to stop future terrorist attacks in the United States.
As has been the case for the past several months, Democrats' rigid stance on disarming law-abiding gun owners is contrary to public opinion. A New York Times /CBS poll found that for the first time in 20 years, a majority of Americans oppose a ban on "assault weapons" than support it. An ABC News/Washington Post poll reinforces this reality, noting 53 percent of Americans oppose such a ban, claiming it would do little to ensure public safety.
"Both the New York Times/CBS poll and the ABC News/Washington Post Poll proves that Americans reject the gun prohibition agenda of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, the Democrat party and the liberal media- and recent gun sale records prove it. The intellectual and activist bubble of the anti-gun rights movement is not reflective of mainstream American politics. I continue to say, and am sure of the fact, that anti-gun politicians are going to be defeated at the ballot box in the 2016 elections. The more these politicians politicize tragedies and mass shootings as tools to disenfranchise law-abiding gun owners, the more resentment will be used for political momentum that will be carried into the next election cycle," said Alan Gottlieb, Founder and Executive Vice President of the Second Amendment Foundation.
"As a result of the recent terrorist attacks in France in San Bernardino, California, Americans want to be safe and feel safe. Arming themselves gives Americans the kind of security that the policies of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are unable and unwilling to provide. Proposing gun bans that do nothing to increase public safety while making Americans feel less safe, and potentially decreasing public safety, simply isn't a wise political strategy," said Gottlieb.
