The newspapers need to be reminded that this is a "so-called" Assault Weapons Ban. They never hesitate to refer to the partial birth abortion ban as the "so-called partial birth abortion ban" because they favor killing all the babies they can get away with killing.

Why is this law (which is really a "Cosmetic Gun Features" ban)treated differently and given such credibility?

By calling it an Assault Weapons Ban, they set the terms of the debate---who could be in favor of ordinary people owning fearsome Assault Weapons (which most people think must be machine guns)?

You've got to hand it to Josh Sugarman in terms of his ability to define the terms of the debate. It's not only the media's natural bias -- he was, let's face it, brilliant in coining a term, and then letting the good guys thrash around and spread the damage. There are good folks in the RKBA movement who still haven't forgiven Bill Ruger, fer instance.

We could use some guys with his skills, but with integrity (which his public record would indicate that he utterly lacks), on our side.

I reframed it: It's known in my household as The Assault on My Weapons

These are the tactics created by the communists. The DNC are good students of Lenin and Marx.
