phrase here, I believe. AWB 94, they banned cosmetic features on many rifles. Had zero effect. Companies just built the same rifle, sans "objectionable" parts. Gun banners had a fit. Thought they had a lock on the AW ban. Technology surpassed them. And, it was on a national scale. Banners here are still calling for the same basic thing, if not going further. "BAN THEM ALL". And, to top it off, WJC himself stated the ban cost the Dem's seats. Destructive enough?

Why did you hide your right wing views on guns for so long? SecularMotion Jan 2017 #14

Wow, let's set the stage for the discussion. yagotme Jan 2017 #15

"Pro 2-A" equals right wing views on the gun issue SecularMotion Jan 2017 #16

Are there any other issues yagotme Jan 2017 #17

Please name a credible "progressive" organization that is "Pro 2-A" SecularMotion Jan 2017 #18

Political extremism is the key yagotme Jan 2017 #23

So "destructive elements of political extremism" are Democrats supporting gun control laws? SecularMotion Jan 2017 #24

Extreme laws, yes. yagotme Jan 2017 #25

I say your views are radical RW if you consider gun control laws "destructive." SecularMotion Jan 2017 #26

I say you haven't been paying attention yagotme Jan 2017 #27

The claim that gun control laws hurt Democrats is a NRA myth SecularMotion Jan 2017 #28

So, WJC is a NRA member? n/t yagotme Jan 2017 #29
