Mr. Davis is well aware that the NRA and other pro-gun groups will not allow any anti-gun laws that he proposes to be passed. Therefore it's easy for him to make any of his wild statements for their passage. This is only a pathetic attempt on his part to make himself look like a responsible citizen. We all know that isn't possible!! A kneebreaker funded by the Teamsters Union in the 70's and a Jimmy Hoffa affiliate shouldn't influence anyone with his BS.
Ahh, but you surely forget the Clinton "Assault Weapon" Ban, which was ardently supported by Mr. Davis, who essentially campaigned for its passage.
The NRA basically just rolled over for that one. They pretty much said "yes, you don't need high capacity magazines for hunting, and intermediate power ammo and rifles aren't suitable for hunting, and they aren't pretty, so we won't say much."
