The assault weapon ban is useless as it stands now. What the hell is everyone complaining about? Currently, I can go to any gun show here in Florida and buy enough fire power to take over Iran. Heaven forbid, he is doing exactly what he said he would during the election. Honor is a hard thing to find in a president, but evidently this means nothing.

BTW, we don't live in a perfect world. You will never, I mean never have a president that is 100% lock step and barrel with your beliefs. You have to learn to take the good with the bad, that is part of growing up and life. If you are worried about a police state, the banned weapons are not going to help. I police forces are armed to the teeth now, since 9/11 the police force in Lakeland where I live can carry any weapon they want (they are loaded for bear) and have M16s.

"If you are worried about a police state, the banned weapons are not going to help."

I disagree, but that is another issue altogether.

The real issue is whether we can have an historic instance where the destruction of our firearms rights is at least slightly reversed. I mean, geeze! It was a superficial, symbolic measure, which sunsets automatically, which has demonstrably failed to provide any benefit. It is revenue neutral, and is filled with arbitrary, irrational, and absurd regulations, that can lead to long prison terms for otherwise lawful citizens.

If a Republican House, Senate, and White House can't summon up the minuscule courage to do THIS, then I have no use for them.

It's not like they've been protecting my other liberties, or making meaningful reductions in taxes and regulations like Reagan did.
