Well said Rep. Cox. This silly ban is the quintessential symbolism-over-substance politics. Sure, maybe it is completely ineffective, but it makes us feel like we're doing something. </sarcasm>

Liberalism is about doing things that make people feel good, not necessarily doing things that make their lives better. This penchant for symbolism is nowhere more in evidence than in the assault weapons ban.

Well said Rep. Cox. This guy is from NRA-ILA. I think the CA Congressman is also a 'Chris'.
