The "Assault Weapon Ban" Quiz - Round One
The so-called "assault weapon" ban was stupid--and just about anyone who knows anything about it knows it was stupid.
If you're like most gun owners, you probably have at least one anti-gun friend who can't understand why gun owners opposed the federal "assault weapon" ban originally, or why we oppose it now.
What I've generally found is that the vast majority of those individuals know next to nothing, if anything at all, about what the so-called "assault weapon" ban actually was. What they generally know is that they don't like guns that much in the first place, and they sure don't like any gun specifically designed for "assault."
If you have such a friend, I encourage you to send your friend a link to this simple quiz and ask him or her to send back the answer.
