131. What a ridiculous argument
Did crimerates lessen when we had the AWB? No? Why not?
Could it be because it is ineffective feel good legislation that made soccer moms feel better?
The reason many of us are against the AWB is because it would do nothing to lessen crime, it has no effect. The cosmetic features have no effect on the lethality of the weapon. Assault weapons are light caliber semi automatic rifles, they use vamped down versions of standard rifle rounds to reduce recoil. This is a silly discussion about silly legislation.
Why support the ban if it provides no positive benefits? Because you dont like them? Grow up.
