Assault Weapons Legal

Author : Gary R. Hess
On Monday September 13th Assault Weapons became legal for the first time in ten years. The weapons which become legal include AK-47s, Oozies and other automatic weaponry.

This un-banning of the weapons make it easier for criminals to get their hands on automatic weapons and cause more harm quickly and abruptly than before.

The bill which made these weapons illegal was backed by more than 64% of the population to be renewed however congress and the president did not even touch the issue.

The assault weapons ban was put in place to stop criminals from getting these weapons, although it was not full proof it was proved to be very helpful in cutting down on crimes which included assault weapons.

Days before the weapons became legal Al Qaeda released another video telling its members to go to the USA and buy the assault weapons when they become legal. Since the United States is one of the only countries, especially civilized, that allows the use and selling of such weapons the USA will become a haven for terrorists.

The main reason why the bill was not renewed is the NRA, National Rifle Association. The members of the NRA have been waiting for this day since 1994. The group is so powerful to stop a weapon from getting banned because of their money and ability to persuade the public. If the members of congress were to renew the bill, their days in would be limited.

The NRA has the power to make or break the political career of any man or woman. They do this by spending millions of dollars placing negative ads against them. In return the voters see politicians as ‘evil’ and vote someone else to take their place. In an election year it is extremely important to the congressmen and women to stay away from such harm.

The members of Congress know that the selling of assault weapons is immoral and should be banned. The problem is that the NRA holds so much power they will not even bring the issue to the floor.

The people of the United States need a ban on assault weapons. Write your congressmen today to have this done.
