The Dangers of Banning So-Called “Assault Weapons”

At the present time, there is a bill that recently got introduced in the Senate.  It’s called the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2013”.  It was introduced by Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, along with twenty or so other Democratic Senators, but chiefly by her.  This is basically a repeat of the first Assault Weapons Ban of 1994, which expired in 2004.

My Dad was on the previous episode.  He and I agree on some topics, and we have different views on some others.  The notion of “assault weapons” is one of the latter ones.  We presented his views on the subject for your consideration last time.  This time, I present mine for your consideration, and you’ll note that they are considerably different.

We also discuss in this episode where these “one step at a time” gun bans eventually end, what the end-goal of the antis really is, and the reason why that must be their end-goal–why it cannot be any different from what it is.
