"Wow. I must be breaking the law; I have a factory high cap map in my Beretta 92. Oh wait, you mean the BAN doesn't actually BAN anything?"

It bans the manufacture of new full-capacity magazines for sale to civilians. Which may not mean much now, but even now there are plenty of new guns for which no supply of normal magazines exists. Don't be short-sighted, thinking only in terms of your budget and puny life span.

The founders gave us freedom several centuries ago. Do you really think they intended that citizens at some point would be frozen with firearms technology at one level, while the standing army they feared so greatly was allowed to have advancing wepons technology, until the "Armed citizentry" was a meaningless token?

OK, I think everyone has missed the point of what I was trying to say. I totally OPPOSE the AW ban and fully support its repeal. My point was that the AW ban is a perfect example of "feel good" legislation; it doesn't do a damn thing to try to solve violent crime, it simply puts forth a series of additional barriers and hassles for law abiding gun owners.
