clips that hold more than 10 bullets are useless for shooting at anything other than people... How did you arrive at that number? Why not 1 or 11?
no serious target shooter fires more than 1 bullet every few seconds You are not aware that there are some competition shoots that employ rapid fire technique of certain model guns?
full auto weapons are useless other than to kill people This argument could be made for most guns. With a correctly placed shot, you can kill someone with a pellet gun. Furthermore, neither the Brady Bill nor the Assault Weapons Ban (nor their expirations) changed the legal status of fully automatic firearms, whose legality has been regulated by the National Firearms Act of 1934.
these are the simple bans that were in place under clinton and which bush let elapse GWB offered to sign such a bill if Congress passed it. They did not. If you want to "blame," Bush Jr. is not the only one to get it. And again, neither Clinton nor Bush had anything to do with the regulation of fully-automatic guns as suggested in your above statement.
american'ts are not able to preserve their republic and will be overrun but outsiders much like the romans were
due to greed, fear and stupidity I can see this happening by the sheer fact that so many Americans were STUPID enough to re-elect a president as lousy as 0bama. It is these people who will open the doors to surrendering our republic.
Data shows a slow gradual decline in gun homicides beginning in 1993 -
before the Brady Bill passed - but, figures from both the control and treatment states track virtually identically.
Control and treatment states had the same gun homicide rates before and after the Brady law passed. It made no discernable difference. There is no statistically significant effect. The 1994 "Assault Weapons Ban"
did expire in 2004, but the 1998 bill requiring background checks when buying guns in a gun shop has not.
Additionally, many individual states had and have their own gun laws that are stricter than Clinton's AWB.
