"The law passed by Bush Sr. in 1986 needs to be repealed though!"

The law signed by President Reagan in 1986 prohibited all state, county, and local governments from arresting you for driving through their "gun free zones" with your firearms stored in your trunk as you made your way through their jurisdictions on a longer journey.

Repeal that ban on governmental power, as you've demanded above, and local Leftist fiefdoms will once again start harassing law-abiding private gun owners for simply driving through places like Chicago on our way up to Alaska from Alabama.

AG! Major mixup on my part. Help me out here. I'm trying to remember the one passed which banned the importation of the HK-93, FN-FAL....etc...etc... Crime Bill?

I'm sure he mean just that last minute (literally!) addition to the bill that banned new production of machine guns for the nongovernmental market. But you knew that.

It's a perfect example of hiding a turd in a plate of especially aromatic spaghetti and meatballs, and hoping no one notices. The turd was so badly written, nobody really knew what it meant, although they did know what was intended, and that intent is what the BATFE and the courts are enforcing.
