Democrats Go After Black Rifles - Again, and Again, and Again
Democrats repeatedly go after AR-style rifles. Why?
- ARs look evil. They are dark, sinister, unnatural.
- They are easy targets, because they are less prevalent than other weapons. But of course, that is changing.
- Democrats can easily confuse fellow citizens by calling them: "assault weapons" and "military-style weapons."
- Democrats lie about the weapons by overstating or mischaracterizing the capabilities of certain features, accessories, and the overall weapons.
- Democrats constantly call ARs inappropriate for sporting use, while they act like they are avid hunters.
- Democrats ignore that ARs are the exact military-style weapons that the founders of the United States and authors of our Constitution wanted civilians to possess.
- AND FINALLY Democrats exaggerate the impact illegal use of ARs has on us. For example, deaths from rifles in the USA is a small percentage of overall gun deaths. That makes gun deaths from ARs even less significant. Not to mention that all murders are NOT committed with guns in the USA.
