I plowed through much of this, painful though it was. Fairly typical pissing match with the majority on both sides afraid of answering questions.
I do have a few things to mention. I perused BHAs Facebook page and asked a few questions. It doesn't appear to be a very interactive page. Anywhere in their feed where I saw they mentioned working with a politician, that politician was a Democrat.
I had no idea who American Prairie was. I looked them up. What percentage of this BOD is Democrat? https://americanprairie.org/leadership/#national-board-of-directors I hate to judge based on looks, but there's a heavy team D influence in that group. ANYONE who trusts Democrats with their hunting and gun rights is a fool of the highest order.
Oh, so Reagan and Ford must have been democrats then? Keep going...I'm curious.
May 3, 1994
To Members of the U.S. House of Representatives: We are writing to urge your support for a ban on the domestic manufacture of military-style assault weapons. This is a matter of vital importance to the public safety. Although assualt weapons account for less than 1% of the guns in circulation, they account for nearly 10% of the guns traced to crime.
Every major law enforcement organization in America and dozens of leading labor, medical, religious, civil rights and civic groups support such a ban. Most importantly, poll after poll shows that the American public overwhelmingly support a ban on assault weapons. A 1993 CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll found that 77% of Americans support a ban on the manufacture, sale, and possession of semi-automatic assault guns, such as the AK-47.
The 1989 import ban resulted in an impressive 40% drop in imported assault weapons traced to crime between 1989 and 1991, but the killing continues. Last year, a killer armed with two TEC9s killed eight people at a San Francisco law firm and wounded several others. During the past five years, more than 40 law enforcement officers have been killed or wounded in the line of duty by an assault weapon.
While we recognize that assault weapon legislation will not stop all assault weapon crime, statistics prove that we can dry up the supply of these guns, making them less accessible to criminals. We urge you to listen to the American public and to the law enforcement community and support a ban on the further manufacture of these weapons.
Sincerely,
Gerald R. Ford
Jimmy Carter
Ronald Reagan
Good lort. That was 30 years ago. Can we focus on the problems of today rather than dredging up news from 3 decades ago? Anyone who trusts their gun rights to today's democrats is a damn fool.
