I always laughed at the bayonet lug element of the ban; apparently being able to fix a bayonet to your weapon makes it an assault weapon.
I remember a few folks being upset about that though. As if many folks are going to run screaming down range to bayonet their target or make a bayonet assault on a mule deer.

The Second Amendment has nothing to do with target shooting or hunting--nothing.

As if my putting a non-original bayonet onto an otherwise perfectly legal firearm suddenly makes me into a felon.
Oh, wait, it does...I'm such a criminal.
Execute me.

The fact is that so called assault weapons are not used in crimes to any degree compared to say, knives or hands and feet, so why are politicians so hot to ban them? Remember it's not even the bayonet that is banned, it's the bayonet lug for gosh sake.
