A Glorious Sunset
With the September 13 expiration of the Clinton gun ban fast approaching, anti-gun activists across the nation are making a renewed push to re-enact this ineffective legislation.
Congress will be in session for only 14 more work days before the sunset date arrives, and because time is short, the anti-gunners are redoubling their efforts to extend the ban. Consider these examples in Ohio:

The Truth is Out There:
Not matter how hard they try to erase ten years of evidence, the proof that this law belongs on the scrap-heap of history is plain to see.
Just last week in Columbus, the failure of this law to deter criminals was displayed for all to see, as a man fired an AK-47 assault rifle from a 1988 Jeep Cherokee wagon as he sped through a residential neighborhood.
In 2003, when concealed carry was illegal in our state, Biswanath Halder concealed a gun banned by this law into Cleveland's Case Western Reserve University and began shooting.
School shootings at Columbine, Paducah; workplace shootings in Cincy, Cleveland elsewhere; snipers in D.C. and Columbus - all happened while the Clinton gun ban was in full effect, supposedly "protecting" the nation by disallowing law-abiding citizens the ability to purchase certain cosmetically-incorrect semi-automatic firearms.
