The Striped Leopard
By Mitch Berg
I was going to respond to Hillary’s newfound love of the Second Amendment…
…but Carnivore at TvM beat me to it:
Hillary attacks Barack for his previous support for a ban on the manufacture, sale, and possession of handguns. Hillary, of course, is on record as only favoring massive licensing and registration of handguns, not a complete ban. You know, licensing like they have in New York City where lawyers specialize in helping you get your one-year pistol license. Miss your appointment with the firearms officer and you are out of luck for a while. Of course she now says pursuing such a licensing scheme is not politically feasible. She’ll just continue to demonize gun owners until there aren’t as many of us……then they can ban what they want.
Both Hillary and Barack favor bans on “assault weapons” as well. You know why they support bans on “assault weapons” and not handguns, when, admittedly, it is handguns that are used in most crimes? It’s because there are less (although growing) numbers of people who own “assault weapons”. Its easier to attack the minority of us who use certain semi-automatic firearms. It’s the standard liberal tactic of get whatever you can now and go for the rest later.
Beware of Greeks Democrats bearing gifts copies of More Guns, Less Crime.
