The assault weapons ban has expired, that means we can buy real MP5s, M-4s, and AK-47s instead of converting paintball guns to look like them. 

The ban covered many things, including the full auto-ness of guns and the magazine sizes, but someone please explain the full details.

This day reminds me of a line to the Pink Floyd's song:

Just shoot yourself and save me the trouble.

I hope the ban is lifted, then I'll be able to shoot my automatic weapons and the cops won't stop and take me away like they did last time.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not believe the AWB of 1994 had anything to do with full auto weapons.  Those remain subject to a Class III firearm license.  The AWB only prohibited large-capacity magazines and certain cosmetic features on SEMI-automatic weapons.

It was a stupid law and needed to expire, but don't count on buying full-auto AKs at K-Mart anytime soon.

you can buy fully automatic weapons, you need a permit which generally takes around 6months-1year, unless you live in california or something.

Idaho doesn't need to require a background check - that's Federal law (see "Brady Bill").

And Glassjaw, the permit you are thinking of is a Class III firearms license.  That's the same thing you need to own a silencer.

Pain in the butt.

I am sure this will affect so many of you. I can (have) live without a flash-surpessor on my rifles...If "something" sees the pretty flash, its too late!

I just do not understand the need for fully automatic weapons. I understand collecting things, but they are useless tools in the hands of civilians.

This apparently stands repeating:

The AWB has nothing to do with fully automatic weapons
