    Default Real goal of AWB from the Violence Policy Center

    Read this:

    http://volokh.com/archive/archive_20...tml#1240353296

    I found this point to be the most interesting:

    "The weapons' menacing looks, coupled with the public's confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons -- anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun -- can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons. "

    Click through the link to read their whole statement. Looks like they are going to try to use AWB to move to restricting handguns as well. Even though the original document is from 1998 it gives a really good look into the AWB leading to even more restrictions.

    The anti's will never stop !! They are relentless, therefore we must be hyper vigilant. Join the NRA and get those membership numbers up. It's the only way the NRA will continue to have an impact.
    The left has the MSM doing their bidding. They got Osurper elected !! They will do everything to get your guns too!!!
