Political Quotes

“On September 13, the automatic assault weapon ban is going to expire. This is a ban which has been in effect for a period of 10 years now in this country. It is supported by the President of the United States, that is, the extension of it. It is supported by both Presidential campaigns; and in my judgment, it is very, very important that we bring this, however we possibly can. We are talking about semiautomatic weapons. In this case, we are talking about the AK-47, Uzis. We are talking about high levels of ammunition, depletion of guns in rapid time, various aspects that have frankly caused every law enforcement entity that I know of in the United States of America to support this ban. We also know that there has been a reduction in crime with the use of these weapons since the ban has been in effect. In fact, that reduction has been more than 65 percent since the ban went into effect in 1995.”
