Okay so I was feeling frustrated again today about the AWB proposed by Senator Schneiderman so I called his office to discuss his AWB legislation. One of the legislative assistants answers the phone and we get to talking.
Him: Why would you want an assault weapon? You don't need that for hunting.
Me: Hunting has nothing to do with the second ammendment.
Him: What do you need a machine gun for?
Me: I thought we were discussing so-called "assault weapons". I never said anything about machine guns.
Him: Aren't they the same thing?
Me: Not at all. (and I got into explaining the differences)
My conclusion, which we all know... The reason these pices of legislation pass is because most people are to stupid to actually understand what the bill actually is. And I'll admit it. Assault weapon does sound like something used for efficient killing. BUT.. We are not talking about assault weapon. This term was coined by the anti-gunners to scare the sheeple.
Here is his contact info. It would be great if everyone called his office and voiced their opinion.
