Ok. Lets get started, and please bear with me, Im dumb. So, Obama supports renewing and making permanent the failed assault weapons ban that Bill "J" Clinton conjured up. As seen here http://origin.barackobama.com/issues/ur … y/#poverty click crime and law enforcement, under the address gun violence tab, the very last sentence. Yes, its harder to find than a straight catholic priest (zinger). Right. So he wants to bring back a ban on guns, specifically assault rifles, because they "belong on a battlefield, not on our streets" even though the rest of the country has already figured out that said ban has zero effect on crime rates?

Article said:""FBI statistics show that rifles of any description are used in only about 3% of homicides each year. Data compiled by criminologist Gary Kleck put the frequency of assault weapons use in all violent crime at 0.5%.
In California, a statewide survey of law enforcement agencies by the state Department of Justice found that a mere 3.7% of firearms used in homicides and assaults were assault weapons. A Trenton, N.J., deputy police chief said his officers "are more likely to confront an escaped tiger from the local zoo than to confront an assault rifle in the hands of a drug-crazed killer on the streets."
The U.S. Department of Justice conducted two studies of the consequences of the 1994 assault weapons ban. In 1999,-Bill Clinton's Justice Department looked exhaustively at the ban's effects. It concluded that "the public safety benefits of the 1994 ban have not yet been demonstrated." In 2001, a second Justice Department review similarly found no evidence that the ban had a statistically significant effect on violent crime. A congressionally mandated study by the Urban Institute reached comparable conclusions.""
Theres the evidence the AWB is worthless, yet he still wants it reenacted, and ya'll are ok with it? go ahead, waste more money on stupid shit the FBI, ATF, and officers around the country already told you is fruitless.
