Even now, the paranoid gun-haters are readying more so-called "gun control" legislation, taking advantage of the shock and fear created by 20 first-grade children and six adults murderered by an insane criminal in Connecticut.
Never mind that similar legislation in the past, has failed every time it's been tried, and that the murders have gone right on, and even gotten worse.
"Gun Control". It's not about guns. It's about control.

The Assault Weapons Ban Didn
The Assault Weapons Ban Didn’t Work Then and It Won’t Work Now

Senator Dianne Feinstein is queuing up come January 2013 to retable—yet again—an Assault Weapons Ban (AWB) in order to “severely mitigate the possibilities of another Sandy Hook atrocity.”
Great idea, Dianne, as the first AWB that Clinton signed into law worked wonders in schools from 1994-2004. It was awesome. It panned out wonderfully aside from the following:
* November 7, 1994: Wickliffe, Ohio: (Wickliffe Middle School shooting) Keith Ledeger, 37, a former student at the school, shot and killed custodian Pete Christopher and wounded four other adults.
* January 12, 1995: Seattle, Washington: A 15-year-old Garfield High School student left school during the day and returned with his grandfather’s 9mm semiautomatic handgun. He wounded two students.
* October 12, 1995: Blackville, South Carolina: (Blackville-Hilda High School shooting) Anthony Sincino, 16, killed one teacher and wounded another before committing suicide.
(long list of other murders and assaults detailed, see above link for full list)
In addition to the AWB not really stemming the tide of gun violence in the public school systems, it sure didn’t calm things down in the “gun-free” Windy City, as Chi-town racked up a whopping 7,636 murders during the Clinton ban.
Speaking of Chicago, this year alone 446 kids have been shot where guns have been verboten, and just this week Chicago hit 500 murders that have now occurred in the “gun free” Toddlin’ Town for 2012.
It appears as if our former AWB and our current “gun free” zones don’t work.
