Yep, I've heard about this..It doesn't ban all assault weapons..just ones produced before 1984, or something...Pretty pointless...

Why would anyone need a semi automatic assualt weapon?  I mean seriously, no one has any need for them.  I'm not one of those anti-gun people, but those kinds of guns arn't really necessary are they?

The brady act isn't expiring the Assault Weapons Ban is. It banned guns by cosmetic features not funtion. It also made production of high capacity magazine for civilian use illegal. It was inacted in 1994. Go to http://www.awbansunset.com for more info.

The assault weapons ban was pointless anyway. The anti gun crowd is predicting blood in the streets, but all 16 of the guns banned can be bought now with high capacity mags as long as they don't have more than two out the the three following features; bayonet lug (how many times have you heard of someone being bayonetted with an assault rifle?), pistol grip, or a flash supressor. Collapsible stocks are also disallowed.

Even with none of the above evil features, the guns shoot just as fast, just as far, and just as hard as those that do have them.

For I will wander to and fro,
I'll go where I no one do know,

They only banned assault weapons(they have to be select-fire to be considered assault rifles BTW) because they "look scary".

I'm having a party on Monday. The so called AWB is/was a joke. My AR-15 which is considered post ban fires the same way/bullet/rof as a pre ban AR. The "ban" was PC politics at best and thank God its gone.

It had nothing to do with public safety, it was all about getting the soccer mom vote.

18 for rifles or shotguns, 21 for handguns. It might be different in your state though.

I didn't say all assault weapons but I think it's good we can have larger magazines, flash suppressors, and foldable stocks. The Brady act was really just a feel good law that had no point.
