Who Runs March for Our Lives?

Follow the money.

It’s a strange political fact, but nearly every major anti-gun group has been a front group. The NRA is maligned 24/7 and yet it’s completely obvious whom it represents. Despite the efforts to tie it to everyone from firearms manufacturers to the Russians (if you can’t tie any random Republican thing to the Russians these days, you won’t be working at the Washington Post or CNN for very long), it represents its five million members. Anti-gun groups tend to represent shadowy networks.

A GUIDE TO WEAPONS FOR THE UNINFORMED

The way the Left swings into action every time a nut commits mass murder with a firearm, you would think that school shootings are the leading cause of death in the U.S. Michael Ramirez reminds us that according to FBI homicide statistics, rifles are the country’s least popular murder weapon. If you really wanted to do something about violent crime, it would make more sense to crack down on knives. Or fists. Click to enlarge:

No semi-auto rifle, regardless of outward appearance, is an "assault" anything.

From a former firearms instructor in the Army:

Yesterday, Larry Elder, a man I respect greatly, was explaining the difference between a true assault rifle, e.g., an M-16, and a semi-auto AR-15. But, he misused the term "assault weapon" in referring to the AR, as I recall. So, as conscientious as he is, he was a bit inaccurate.

"Assault weapon" has no actual definition in military or firearms usage. It was coined by Josh Sugarman, of Violence Policy Center, or whatever they call it lately, to demonize a class of firearms. He previously created the term, "Saturday Night Special." But, he was successful in getting the terms, one at a time, memorialized in law, resulting in bans of certain firearms. (One step at a time--divide and conquer.)

The VPC, and the Brady bunch, are the two principle "gun control" organizations, each consisting of about a half dozen nitwits. They are heavily funded by the Joyce Foundation, of which our esteemed CiC was a director for several years. He also, as part of Joyce, lectured law professors that the 2nd Amendment only protected the collective right of militias to bear arms.

No semi-auto rifle, regardless of outward appearance, is an "assault" anything. It is just a rifle or carbine, and is semi-auto.

The military designates a short rifle (carbine,) of medium power, that is selective fire (an essential quality), so that it can be selected by the shooter to fire full auto, or semi-auto, depending on circumstances, AS AN "ASSAULT RIFLE." No currently manufactured full automatic (OR SELECTIVE FIRE) firearms are available to sell to civilians.
