IIRC it popped up some time in September of 96. I don't have a link.

Clinton had signed the assault weapons ban but signed a waver that allowed the Chinese, Norinco, to continue shipping in somewhere around 100,000 to 150,000 SKS’s. I remember at the time there were so many SKS’s coming into the country you could pick one up for under $50.

I don't remember if it was a sting operation where an ATF agent posed as a gang member and busted them or if the weapons were just found in the shipment of legal SKS’s.

I also don't recall if the story even made the main stream news because the MSM was doing everything they could to get Clinton reelected and didn't want any “BAD PRESS”.
