MitsuStyle - View Single Post - Assault Weapons Ban Has Officially Expierd

**JET** · 09-14-2004

Yep, Chris beat me to it. The assault weapons ban had absolutely nothing to do with automatic weapons. We haven't been able to own an automatic weapon in the state for decades (it is possible to get a special permit, but it is extremely hard).

Like I stated before, the law really tried to ban guns that "looked" like military guns. It also outlawed high capacity magazines for basically all guns. How many people go on shooting sprees with a .22 rifle? I couldn't get a high capacity magazine for my ruger 10/22 (for a decent price anyway). It also limited the number of rounds you could hold in a pistol. If you go to the shooting range you don't want to spend all of your time reloading, you want to be able to shoot.
