Lies, Damned Lies and Ceasefire Claims

"I have no problem with people selling normal guns, but I see no need for assault weapons," Ceasefire president Lisa Delity tells WJZ's Peggy Lee.

"They kill many people, especially police officers and FBI agents, but they kill them very fast."

The study states more than 700 assault rifles were traced to crimes in the state from 1998 to 2001.

Pray you never do, Lisa. Because the people who have seen a need will tell you it's not an experience they're eager to repeat, but they're glad they had them when they needed them.

How many "police and FBI agents," Lisa? I notice the "authorized journalists" left that one untouched.

Oh, and Lisa--that "study" you're relying on: it recorded traces when precisely what you're calling for--a ban--was in effect.

Not that we'd expect the watchdogs of liberty to point that inconvenient truth out, either.
