There is no limit to democrat stupidity!
Democrats in the House and Senate have put forward legislation that would make it illegal for kids under age 16 to own or even handle machine guns or assault-style weapons.
The Help End Assault Rifle Tragedies Act, or the HEART Act, is a response to incidents at gun shows in which young children accidentally kill adults while handling weapons.
And how many have actually met that fate?
...and why would they be loaded at a gun show?
That was going to be my next question.
Every gun show I have ever been to (and that is a pretty big number) everything in there has a strap on it to prevent firing.
Exactly.
Gun violence has plunged while gun ownership has soared, according to Breitbart News, citing data from the early 1990s to the mid-teens.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released statistics showing that from 1993-2014, gun-related violence has steadily declined. The firearm homicide rate in 1993 of 6.6 per 100,000 dropped by more than half by 2014, to 3.43 per 100,000.
Meanwhile, gun ownership in America has steadily risen, to the point that there are more civilian-owned firearms than there are people in the U.S., The Washington Post has reported. The number of privately owned guns ballooned from 192 million in 1994 to 357 million in 2013.
