“It is time to revive the ban on assault weapons,” and Jackson bemoans the fact that “more Americans now own a gun on their property than any time since 1993, and  for the first time, a majority of Americans are against a ban on assault rifles  and semiautomatics.”

It’s hard to tell where this rebel without a real job gets his figures, but it figures.  Never mind the fact that semi-automatic firearms are more prevalent than ever before, our nation’s murder rate is at a  47-year low, having decreased 52 percent since 1991.
