those supposedly Conservative GOP members attack R Reagan on Assault Gun would not do this to Nancy Reagan or Sons Michael or Ronnie tell them he was off in his head Yugoman....you are sick....and perhaps off in your head from being just plain mean......

The weapons that are being referenced are semi-automatic fire weapons. Some have to be ****ed to fire the first time and some do not, semi-automatic means that once the first round is fired the gun itself automatically chambres another round and when the trigger is depressed it fires again. That is until it runs out of ammo be it five rounds, seven rounds, ten rounds or a hundred rounds.

I like them. It is a pain to load but once you get stated shooting it is fun.

Assault weapon crimes stats......Just ask AG Holder, the Fast and Furious guy.

Have any of you ever bothered to find out what the stats for assault weapon crime is?

guess in ur eyes the other 77 % were off in the head too

But sadly Ronnie was already off in the head by this point. Ten years earlier he might have voiced a different view.

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

Yet FBI statistics show that the lowest number of gun crimes are committed with "assault weapons". I don't own one and see no need for one but, have no problem with anyone else that wants one.
