THE SCAPEGOAT ONCE AGAIN AFTER TRUMP ATTEMPT IS A RIFLE
Dave doesn't own a modern semi-auto rifle, but he's fired a bunch of them.
Don't blame them for violent crime, he says.
I don't own an AR-15 and never have, but I've fired many of them over the years and found some to be a hoot, others to be remarkably accurate and one or two—including the one assembled by my younger son some years ago—to be real gems.
So, for the record, I'm not opposed to modern rifles. Just because I don't own one doesn't mean I think nobody else should — quite the contrary. Own whatever you want.
That said, it didn't take long for anti-gunners to start pushing for a ban on these rifles in the aftermath of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. What else should one expect from a political party that threw its leader under the bus in an effort to retain power and protect the "down ballot" in November? Watch gun control become a campaign issue.
