I don't see anything in that statement that applies to semi automatic rifles which is what the "Assault Weapon" ban is after.
Libs have to lie - telling the truth shows them for what they are.

That's exactly what I told my wife last night. Personally I view the violence in Mexico as a reason to own an Assault rifle not a reason to ban them. If I were in Arizona I would insist on getting an assault rifle if I didn't already have one.
What's funny to me is I looked up the crime statistics related to assault weapons a week or two ago, anyone want to guess how often an assault weapon is used in a crime.......it was .9 percent of all gun crimes......wow we definitely need to address that
I know in the years while I was a LEO there were 2....yea that's it, 2 total incidents involving assault rifles, one was a legitimately crazy guy sitting in his garage with the door closed firing rounds off, (got his neighbors attention and of course ours
) The second was a simple video we got a hold of that showed a bunch of known gangbangers holding an SKS, there were 12-13 in the video who all had the rifle at different points, IIRC every one of them was a convicted felon or was holding the gun and some illegal substance, took less than 3 weeks before we had rolled up all but 1 or 2 of them.
