Huh? Are you suffering from memory loss? The GOA, the NRA, the state 2nd Amendment organizations in California where I was stationed at the time, talk radio listeners and hosts, and everyday gun owners across the nation fought that bill tooth and nail. The AWB was a huge reason (for many it was the major reason) the 'Rats were swept out of Congress in the '94 elections, giving the Pubbies their first majority in decades.
Maybe you (by your own admission) and the majority of the American Sheeple are sitting in Lazy-Boy recliners watching your 60-inch hi-def TVs, but remember, only about 5% of the American population actually fought in the American Revolution. I suspect those numbers will bear out if/when TSHTF again. So sit back and enjoy your 1080p...we patriots will do the heavy lifting for the rest of you.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
WKU... I admitted nothing. Matter of fact, I was 14 and manning my algebra book when I that law was passed. I didn’t feel the effects from it until 7 years when I bought my 9mm Ruger and had a gimped 10 rd. magazine. Since then, I’ve been an ardent supporter of 2A.
I only said what I said having read anecdotal accounts of the time period in books such as “Unintended Consequences” and made corollaries based on historical facts: people have consistently rolled over for gun bans with little more than a whimper and a sigh. I hope the tide changes, but as a 31 year old well-armed Conservative, I hope history doesn’t repeat itself.
Thanks for saving me a bunch of keyboarding. I had hundreds of hours and big $$$ in trying to stop the AWB.
