I know several times they have talked about closing the so called gun show loophole
****************************************************
Honestly, this gun show hooopla is just another scam on the public! By making gun shows into an issue.... the media will pick up on the hysteria and broadcast the slanted hype out to the public... convincing America that a problem exists! It doesn't exist hasn't existed and will never become a problem since their is no problem in the first place!
Politicians need to justify their existence by doing something... sometimes anything will do.... so they jump on a bandwagon and repeat bullshit that is untrue and very deceptive at best!
"So, tomorrow for the first time in 10 years when a killer walks into a gun shop, when a terrorist goes to a gun show somewhere in America, when they want to purchase an AK-47 or some other military assault weapon, they're going to hear one word: 'Sure'", he said. "George Bush chose to make the job of terrorists easier and make the job of America's police officers harder, and that's just plain wrong."-- John Kerry
Here, we can easily verify that the AK-47 is not even covered under the AWB Kerry is talking about! So why would he lie like this? He is a politician with an agenda!
"If we don't act today to continue the ban on these deadly assault weapons, then our families in America, our police officers in America, are more threatened than they ought to be," John Kerry
Since when did this lie become fact? It is a blatant outright lie! The 1994 AWB covered only Semi-automatic weapons and did not ban or restrict any true assault weapons. Dianne Feinstein and other politicians have intentionally misled the American public about this AWB issue by calling semi-automatic weapons.... true assault weapons.... and they are NOT!
By misleading good people, the media picks up on this agenda and broadcasts a slanted view to the American public.
The 1994 AWB covered only semi-automatic rifles that had certain inconsequential, superficial attributes not related to function or the ability of the weapon to potentially become more dangerous or deadly.
"The absurdity of supporters for this 1994 failed gun ban abomination against our civil rights has become evident." "Proponents of the ban, Dianne Feinstein, Bill Clinton and John Kerry, have been spreading fear and hysteria, insisting for example, that perpetuation of this fraud is now necessary, to keep guns from falling into the hands of terrorists.
Such media sensationalism or worse yet, outright bias is designed to exploit fear of violent crime, while doing nothing to accurately educate the public about the serious policy issues at stake.
Dishonesty and intentional deception, may drive up both political approval and television viewer ratings, but its end result is the propagation of popular misunderstanding and misguided policy.
