MMM comes to Raleigh
The Million Moron Marchers need to rename themselves to the dozen or so moron marchers. They recently held a rally at Raleigh, NC and an enormous crowd of "about 50" people attended...truely, these morons are the voice of America.
On to the article:

"RALEIGH -- Raleigh Police Chief Jane Perlov was among nearly 50 people at a Raleigh rally Thursday calling on President Bush to support the renewal of a federal ban on assault weapons. "

The fact that the police chief was "among" almost 50 people implies that the 50 people included the staff, the speakers...and likely their kids they forced to come with them.

SNIP
""The AK-47s and Uzis have one simple thing in common," Perlov said. "They were designed to mow people down.""

What would an anti-gun circle-jerk be without a refernce to an AK-47 or Uzi both of which were outlawed long before the assualt weapons ban. When the AWB expires, neither of those guns will be legal. I guess you can't expect anti gun organizations to have a clue what they are talking about.

3. Mindless fear-inducing catchphrases.
Bullet hose, terrorist-grade, military-style, hip firing...

They have already proven over and over that they make shit up.

5. We've had CCW in Florida for 17 years...
...and the streets seem to have a whole lot less blood compared to the Miami Vice era.

7. What? That the AWB is needed to keep AK47s and Uzis off the street.
Yeah, (snicker) great point! I sure don't want those to become legal again when it expires in September (Tee, hee, hee).

18. I agree...
dishonesty (AK74s become legal in September), racism (Jim Crow laws) and flat out unAmerican ugliness ("crowd" members at a MMM "rally")don't bother you at all.

21. The MMM is a group of idiots
AK47's and UZI's were banned back in 1989. You think out of the million moms they could figure this out right? surly they can read.When the ban expires the only thing that will change is people can put folding stocks,bayonet lugs and flash hiders on their post ban rifles.

22. I've met four of them - They're NOT idiots!
They were intelligent, well-intentioned, honestly concerned about peoples' safety, and tragically misinformed about the "assault weapons" ban. They've been spoon-fed propaganda by other misinformed people, reinforced by a lackadaisical press that's more concerned with selling advertising space than in checking facts.

MMMers respond well to kindness. Try it one-on-one with them some time. Show them the difference between a "pre-ban" weapon and the equivalent "post-ban". They may walk away thinking both species should be banned, or they just might begin to see what a sham the whole AWB issue really is.

23. I agree...they have good but misplaced intentions.
Edited on Sat May-22-04 05:00 PM by OpSomBlood
It's up to people like us to demonstrate that their protests are entirely based on misinformation and distortion.

The thing we have to get through their heads is this: the anti-gun lobby doesn't give a shit about "assault weapons." The AWB was an important first step in their plan to incrementally ban all guns. I mean, this isn't tinfoil hat stuff...the activists themselves say it all the time!

If they can convince most people that a certain class of guns is "extra lethal," that sets a nice precedent for them a few years down the road. Is nobody else noticing the sudden use of the new nonsense term "assault pistol"? They are moving forward to Phase 2...but renewal of the AWB is crucial.

35. Looks like a Freeper rally!
Anybody remember their great pro-War "rally" a while back, the one where they had more porta-potties than attendees? The picture was definitely worth a thousand words.

31. Their protesting is misdirected...
"RALEIGH -- Raleigh Police Chief Jane Perlov was among nearly 50 people at a Raleigh rally Thursday calling on President Bush to support the renewal of a federal ban on assault weapons."

Bush has already stated he WOULD sign a renewed ban if he received a bill from the Congress. The marchers, if they wish to succeed, need to be pinging on the Senate and the House to get cracking on renewed legislation.

I don't think the bill, in it's current form, will be renewed. Not in an election year. For some reason people seem to get all uppity when they think the government is out to infringe on their rights.
