[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1069463, member: 14668"] The politicians and uninformed sheeple who are jumping on the bandwagon to ban "assault weapons" kind of remind me of UPS's "Safety Committees". There are lots of buzzwords and catch phrases, lots of empty rhetoric and half-assed "feel good" solutions, and lots of people who simply want to take credit for being involved without having to do the work of taking an unbiased and painfully honest look at the underlying problems. It doesnt [I]matter[/I] if they accomplish anything or not as long as they can pander to the electorate and make it [I]look like [/I]they are accomplishing something[I]. [/I]In the final analysis[I], [/I]we wont wind up being any safer once the ban gets passed, but I bet our schools will have even [I]bigger[/I] "gun free zone" stickers plastered on the front doors, along with a few unarmed "security" guards who will walk around with badges and walkie-talkies making sure we all feel nice and safe.
