What is an “Assault Weapon”?

BrownbessThere is a great deal of controversy about the permanent ”Assault Weapons Ban” promised by Obama. Some gun owners don’t feel threatened by this ban, but armed citizens everywhere need to understand what the Assault Weapons Ban (AWB) of 1994 was and the impact it will have on our 2nd Amendment rights as a whole if permanently renewed.

The phrase “Assault Weapons” has no real definition. It is a gun-banners coined phrase created to hopefully confuse people with “Assault Rifles”.

Now, Assault Rifles are real, and VERY regulated since 1934, and VERY rare in civilians hands since the Gun Control Act of 1986 which AR-15banned the ownership of any newly manufactured machine guns. An assault rifle is a select-fire (either fully automatic or burst capable) rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine. It is not to be confused with assault weapons.[1] A real AK47 will cost somewhere upwards of $15,000, a M16 upwards of $25,000.

Politician’s declare that “assault rifles” and AK47s have no place on our streets.  Well Mr. President, that was taken care of in 1934 and again in 1986.  Nobody is shooting anyone with “assault rifles” in gang violence.  The only report I’ve heard in 10 years of an “assault rifle” crime was when the POLICE armory was raided in California a few years ago.  Go figure.

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Friday December 7, 2012. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis analyze a recent federal court decision in favor of metal dealers (filed by our friend Mike Tomaso) regarding coin and metal dealers and how they’ve been singled out for regulation in favor of pawn shops who have been specifically exempted from the same regulation.

Principles and Policies Podcast for 12/6/2012- How To Make Sure A Treaty Is Not Ratified

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Thursday December 6, 2012. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis discuss the attempt in the US Senate to force-ratify (in a lame duck session) a hot mess of a treaty (The UN Convention On The Rights Of The Disabled) that was, like all UN treaties, a surrender of US sovereignty. The proponents even wheeled in, fresh from his hospital bed, liberal Republican icon Bob Dole. We posit that this was not the best PR after the recent defeat of liberal Republican icon “wanna be” Mitt Romney.
