The Clinton Gun Ban (or so-called "assault weapons ban") expired today. That means we can go back to using normal capacity magazines, folding stocks, and bayonet lugs.
Also note that the sky hasn't fallen, and the world hasn't ended.
What will be the first thing you run out and buy? I'm thinking about some normal capacity magazines for my Glock.
UPDATE: Here is the ATF press release. Please note the ban has expired as of 12:01 AM this morning, not tomorrow morning. Also, some states (like California) still have state-wide bans, so you guys are SOL.
I hate to be paranoid (but I am) - remember the ban expires at midnight tonight. Granted, the Senate won't be in session until this afternoon, but I'm not putting on my party hat just yet.
Though i am writing out my shopping list...
Posted by: Janine at September 13, 2004 9:08 AMThe Chief of Police here in Cleveland was on the radio this morning discussing how "worried" he is about the expiring Assault Weapons Ban.
His justification (paraphrased): "We are seeing more and more of these types of guns used in crimes."
Seems to me that he just admitted that the ban didn't work, since the ban is still in effect, yet in the same conversation he called for a renew on the ban.
What am I missing, here?
Posted by: roger at September 13, 2004 9:36 AMI am going to run out and buy a fully automatic pistol that holds 150 rounds and fits in my pocket...
That is what the AWB was banning right? Everyone keeps telling me that is the definition of an assault weapon. Democrat politicians wouldn't lie to me, would they?
Damn, now how am I going to my drive by shootings at the kindergarten playground?
