How did the assault weapons ban and its subsequent repeal work?
According to the Fed Gov's own agency? No statistical difference.
Quote:
A 2013 study of the 1994 law for the National Institute of Justice said, “We cannot clearly credit the ban with any of the nation’s recent drop in gun violence.” It also said, “Should it be renewed, the ban’s effects on gun violence are likely to be small at best and perhaps too small for reliable measurement.”
The only thing thats going to be sad is their sales after they tell half of America that they don't support their second amendment right. Dicks already struggles as a brick and mortar store and probably will be hit hard with this one. People don't take attacks on their rights lightly.... Bass Pro is better anyways. They price match firearms!
This is true. Did they think this through before making this silly decision? If they thing long and hard they may see how stupid this decision is based on who the majority of their clientele is.
you know what is stupider? They must announce it lol
It is bad enough that there are gun free zones, it is worse and stupider that they have to announce it.
Oh lookie lookie, this is a gun free property
Translation: come and ambush these good folks who have nothing to defend themselves. At least keep it quiet.
Let's make official government buildings including Trump's white house a gun toting zone and let visitor's tour it with him there with pistols and AR-15's. Do you and InformedConsent support that?

Sad.
What a joke! The NRA has been using politics for years to artificially engineer our society. Buying politicians right and left and supported Citizens United to make that easier to do.

Oh I LOVE that idea!
I mean 2A rights are 2A rights. Where better to show the strength and nobility of the 2A then in our own government buildings, hallowed as they are? 😇
Your own chart here makes my point. Deaths by assault weapons spiked after the ban expired. According to the chart you provided there one was year where it was high, however, the rest of that period was much lower. I don't want to ban handguns. AR-15's? Yes, absolutely!
I'll ask it again, why was there hardly any in the 80s when AK-47s were cheap? AR-15, AR-15, AR-15, AR-15, AR-15, AR-15, AR-15, AR-15, AR-15
Why not the AK-47 gun expert?
