Top 10 Take-Aways From Yesterday’s House Hearing On ‘Assault Weapons’
On September 25, the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York, held a hearing on semi-automatic rifles such as the AR-15, which Democrats call “assault weapons,” “weapons of war,” and “weapons of mass destruction,” and on what they call “large” or “high-capacity” ammunition magazines, meaning those that hold 11 or more rounds, regardless of the firearms for which the magazines are designed.
Some of what transpired was a regurgitation of civilian disarmament activist groups’ sound bites and talking points, heard since the debate began in January 1989. A few new revelations took place as well. Here are some highlights.
