Former HCI president Richard Aborn just told Neil Cavuto that there has been a 65% decline in assault weapon shootings in the last ten years as a result of the ban. He said this is because the supply of assault weapon has been drying up.
All freepers should take heed. Assault weapons must be kept moist. Examine all your guns for signs of desiccation. All weapons should be stored by wrapping them in a wet towel in a sealed plastic bag.
I keep all of mine in a 55 gallon drum of salty water.
Did his statistics come from the same source as Dan's docs?
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!
Thanks I'll get right on it.
It went from 3 to 1.
I keep several in a PVC pipe full of cosmoline. Underground.
"drying supply of AW" ping
This is all news to me. I bought another custom FAL just 4 years ago and my biggest problem was deciding who had the best weapon for the price. Took me awhile to narrow things down before purchasing.
Keep them in the septic tank...then you will only have to look for signs of defacation.
Gosh, thanks for the tip! A dried up and withered assault weapon is a sad sight indeed.
Drying up? Hardly. I have an FN FAL made up of 90% US parts that was made just this year. Although a person knowledgeable of firearms would tell you this is not an assault weapon. In truth real "assault weapons" are regulated by the National Firearms Act of 1934.
Set in the ground vertically I hope.
Since assault weapons consisted of less than 1% of all gun crimes committed in the U.S. in the last 10 years, what is 65% of 1%?
Next to none.
They need to get an appropiate sized tinfoil hat for being exposed to all that gun hysteria.
What, are you nuts? You can't get them wet, or feed them after midnight. Otherwise, they really will go out and kill people all on their own.
Every time it's tried to get up and assault someone, I give it a stern talking-to.
Harrumph. Firearms are not like grapefruits or cartons of milk....they won't "go bad" if not used within 30 days. They are durable goods...guns made by reputable American or European manufacturers, given reasonable care, will last and function properly for a century or more. I collect guns, and lately have been buying some of approximately WWI vintage, and they work just fine.
The supply of "assault weapons" (which aren't really assault weapons, but that's another thread) won't "dry up" unless the State confiscates them and destroys them...which is one of the reasons Dems are having a hard time getting elected to national office.
"Gosh, thanks for the tip! A dried up and withered assault weapon is a sad sight indeed."
Isn't that what Paula Jones said about Klinton's "assault weapon"?
I've said too much already.
