About those "assault rifles"

Dianne Feinstein's bill to ban semi-automatic low-power rifles with scary looking features to liberals assault rifles documents how many people have died since the ban on such weapons was lifted in 2004.

350

Out of about 120,000 murders overall.  In other words, Mrs. Feinstein is spending all this time and effort for about 0.3% of murders.

If she wants to reduce the murder rate--and that by about 350 murders annually or more--she might do well to work to end gun bans in Chicago and Washington, DC and work for "shall issue concealed carry" there.  Maybe someday, our nation's capital could be as safe as neighboring Alexandria, Virginia.
