Touring the country in an effort to renew the 10-year-old ban on so-called assault weapons, the numerically challenged Million Mom March has been conducting a campaign built largely on fiction.
As far back as 1988, gun prohibitionists figured they could fool the public into supporting a ban that, as history has shown, has been essentially symbolic. Sixteen years ago, Josh Sugarman with the Violence Policy Center put the campaign in its proper perspective, admitting, "The weapons' menacing looks coupled with the public's confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semiautomatic assault weapons -- anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun -- can only increase that chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons."
Is Mama T going to be there?
You forgot Kerry who looks frighteningly like a Weasel.
I think it's fair to call it a Multi-Mom March.
Did this really run in the Seattle P-I? Amazing!
The P-U is like a stopped clock. Once in a long while it gets it right. Unlike that other paper...
I suggest that all proponents of gun control can immediately surrender their US citizenship forever and move to the socialist/communist/totalitarian nation of their choice.
Enjoy.
