Biden Again Wants to Ban Semi-Automatic Guns. When Will Fact-Checkers Apologize?
Townhall ^ | 11/29/2022 | Dr. John R. Lott

“The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick,” President Biden claimed on Thanksgiving Day. “It has no socially redeeming value. Zero. None. Not a single solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers.”

With mass public shootings in just the last week in Colorado and Virginia, people naturally want to do something to stop these attacks.

The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased by people to defend themselves against all the criminals we are letting lose goes against our plans to destroy this Republic

He's equating irrationality with naturalness (bad news makes worse law).

Less than 1% of gun-related deaths occur in mass murders but >90% of mass murderers were raised by a single parent.

Blaming guns for violent crimes is like blaming pencils for bad spelling.
