VP Biden and the usual crowd were whipping up their constituents earlier in the week telling them that the proposed assault weapons ban and limits on high-cap magazines (what most of us call standard capacity) was just the beginning.

All organized by Mayors Against Illegal Guns of course..

Mr. Biden rallied gun control advocates ahead of a “day of action” organized by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, telling supporters that bans on so-called assault weapons and high-capacity magazines are “just the beginning.”

“Let me say this as clearly as I can: this is just the beginning,” he said on a conference call organized by the group, which is co-chaired by New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. “We believe that weapons of war have no place on our streets. That’s the message that retired admirals and generals have spoken to us about. The comment one of them used was if you want to learn how to use a semiautomatic weapon, join the United States military. But these are weapons of war.”

If these are weapons of war, then why do the military and police see a need for automatic weapons? After all, semi-autos should do just fine...

San Fran Nan also chimed in to say that their efforts have not lost momentum and this is not the end of the day for their banning efforts.

But Mrs. Pelosi said gun control advocates have not lost momentum this time.

“I’ve been to a number of states since this Congress has gone in and many parts of different states and the public is so far ahead of the Congress on this subject,” the California Democrat said Wednesday. “I believe whatever passes in the Congress now will not be the end of the day for this issue.”

Even with all the above, the story notes that public opinion on gun control has waned and continues to move toward less support for restrictions.
