THEHILL.COM 10 Hours Ago Gingrich dismisses call for assault-weapons ban as ‘propaganda’ - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room Tweet Former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) on Sunday dismissed the term “assault weapon” as “propaganda” and said banning more weapons would not stem gun violence. “The term ‘assault weapon’ is propaganda,” said Gingrich on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “Any true military weapon is illegal, has been illegal since 1934. Somebody’s using an AK-47, they are using an illegal weapon because it is an automatic weapon.

BREITBART.COM 5 Hours Ago Seven Killed Saturday Night In Gun-Controlled Chicago by AWR Hawkins 27 Jan 2013, 2:07 PM PDT post a comment Among those killed were a 16-year old kid and a 32-year old man, both of whom were gunned down in a double homicide at approximately 5 p.m. The shooting appeared to be random, and witnesses at the scene described seeing one of the bodies just lying in the roadway by a bus stop. Five hours later, a 38 year-old man was shot and killed and just before midnight, another 32-year old man was stabbed to death. The bottom line is that gun control isn't working in Chicago. It won't work for the nation as a whole, either. Either we keep and bear arms as our Founding Fathers intended or we expand the failing Chicago model, where more than 440 school-age children were shot and wounded last year and where seven people lost their lives Saturday night alone.
