Blogger demands justification for NOT banning so-called 'assault weapons'
Via avordvet
Writing for the “Old Single Mom” blog, Chicago area blogger J.A. demands that gun rights advocates show her “evidence that guns, and more specifically, that military-style assault weapons are a benefit to society.” Failure to come up with an answer she deems satisfactory is presumably all the reason she would need to justify banning them (and perhaps confiscating them, as Obama would so dearly love to do). She challenges gun rights advocates:
Where are all the stories about where a semi-automatic weapon was the difference between tragedy and “happily ever after?”
I've got to warn you: I'm a tough sell. I've seen the Defensive Gun Use (#DGU) Reddit thread, and thwarting off a home invasion here and there is not enough to balance out hundreds of unexpected funerals for small children. You're going to have to give me more than that to win me over.
The residents who fought off the “home invasion here and there” might be forgiven for looking askance at the notion of their successful defense of their homes being so summarily dismissed. So might the Korean shopkeepers whose “assault weapons” were vital for the defense of their lives and livelihoods during the Rodney King riots in L.A.
