Actually it expired at 12:01 this morning. Lots of gun owners were even confused.

Too bad the author didn't point out THERE WAS NO REAL BAN FOR TEN YEARS as the guns were available with cosmetic changes

And the crime rate went down

This should be the MAIN COUNTER ARGUMENT

I am pi$$ed at the media and Kerry, who is all over the place proclaiming he's never hunted deer with a military assault rifle.

Kerry is either an intentional deciever or he really doesn't understand the constitution. Either of which, should disqualify him.

I just want all the reporting to be over already. The AWB is so misrepresented that I just imagine all the soccer moms in Pennsylvania freaking out and voting for Kerry. The media is clueless at best, and making Brady Bunch talking points at worst. I don't know how many times I have heard that the ban covers silencers and machine guns. I have heard very few factually informative reports on this issue.

Its true that not a whole heck of a lot will change other than the abundance of High Capacity Magazines again. I think this whole thing is more smybolic than anything. A definite win for law abiding citizens though.

Go ahead and rejoice right now! The ban really ended this morning at 12:01 a.m.

So, if I put a pistol grip, flash suppressor, and or bayonet lug on my otherwise compliant SKS it will turn into an automatic weapon? Cool!!!

A frantic Sarah Brady from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence (formerly known as Handgun Control, Inc.) was quoted in the New York Times as warning "The assault weapons are coming, they're coming next week."

Does anyone know which particlar day next week the assault weapons are scheduled to arrive? I want to make sure I leave plenty of room on my calendar. Thanks!

An interesting, related aside.

Just heard ACB Radio News report that the FedGuv is going to require safety locks for electric auto windows because 35 children were killed when they stuck their heads out the window and hit the 'up' switch.

200 children under the age of 14 were killed in firearms accidents in a recent past year, according to a Lott article.

I wonder, in that few children over the age of, say, ten, would not be able to figure out how to prevent their own death by car window, if this number of deaths by electric window also exceeds the number of accidental deaths by firearms for the same age group?

A good one to add to the 'plastic bucket'.
