Anti-weapon campaign runs on fiction” “Touring the country in an effort to renew the 10-year-old ban on so-called assault weapons, the numerically challenged Million Mom March has been conducting a campaign built largely on fiction. As far back as 1988, gun prohibitionists figured they could fool the public into supporting a ban that, as history has shown, has been essentially symbolic. Sixteen years ago, Josh Sugarman with the Violence Policy Center put the campaign in its proper perspective, admitting, ‘The weapons’ menacing looks coupled with the public’s confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semiautomatic assault weapons — anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun — can only increase that chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.’”

Keyes can read plain words — unlike anti-gun nuts: “Disabled gun control activist Jim Brady weighed in Wednesday on Republican U.S. Senate nominee Alan Keyes’ declaration that the U.S. Constitution grants private citizens the right to own and carry machine guns, calling the remarks an ‘insane’ call for a return to ‘the Al Capone days.’ … Keyes, a former presidential candidate from Maryland, said Tuesday he supports a system in which people undergo different levels of training before they would be allowed to own and carry various sorts of weapons. Keyes said the Second Amendment grants properly trained Americans the right to ‘the kind of weapons our ordinary infantry people have access to,’ including machine guns.”
