I think this is so wrong....

You know it wasn't actually a ban on assault rifles... Only on certain parts you could not put on them. You have always been able to purchase assault rifles, you just need to pass a background check to get the permit (i.e. Permit to purchase handgun/assault rifle).

It's still wrong.... ;)

The law was pretty stupid in the first place.It was to give a false sense of security, while in reality the weapons that were banned, are not any more lethal, concealable or dangerous than ones that weren't.The criminals still had these banned weapons, but law abiding citizens weren't allowed to purchase.This and all gun laws only keep guns out of the hands of the law abiding, not the law breaking.Anyway this is what was banned-

Rifles w/

Folding/telescoping stock
Protruding pistol grip
Bayonet mount
Threaded muzzle or flash suppressor
Grenade launcher

Pistols w/

Magazine outside grip
Threaded muzzle
Barrel shroud
Unloaded weight of 50 ounces or more
Semi-automatic version of a fully automatic weapon

Shotguns w/

Folding/telescoping stock
Protruding pistol grip
Detachable magazine capacity
Fixed magazine capacity greater than 5 rounds

As well as a handful banned by their name Uzi, TEC-9, etc.

Even though the ban has expired, there is still a 7 week (?) waiting period if you'd buy a gun right now. That will take it right up to election day. :stick:

You really think a fricking law has kept these guns out of the streets. Thats BS, you can get a gun anywhere, you dont need to go to a shop, people are so ignorant and think that a law is going to really make things worse.

If people want an AK47 they will get it somehow. Since when have laws stopped criminals :headache:
