What do the LA Bank Robbery/Shoot-out, the DC sniper shootings, and the drug bust in Kansas that kerry mentioned in the debate that yeilded an AK 47 all have in common?


They all occurred during the Clinton Gun Ban!


The ownership/aquisition of the firearms used in each event was illegal before the ban, during the ban, and is still illegal now that the ban has expired.

Actually the gun used in the sniper shootings was not outlawed by the ban, but the felon and the minor taking possesion of the weapon was highly illegal. To my knowlege the shooting of innocent civilians was banned at the time as well.

Val, It's flawed logic to make laws to keep law breakers from breaking laws.

Laws are there to give the govt/ citizenry recourse against those who would commit such acts.

The ban, as with most GC measures, is a vengful act perpetrated by the far left against those with whom they fundementally disagree.

The same folks who would attack the Patriot Act by quoting Ben Franklin in not giving up liberty for security, would take away our right to gun ownership for a false sense of security based on rhetoric, dubious statistics, and misguided and manipulated fear.

And if they were here to speak, all the men who have shared this camp over the decades would answer,
�Yes, there is.�
