(2,038 posts)You are not aware that the results of the last AWB that did not actually ban any semi-automatic rifles, did not impact crime, did not hinder any determined individual from committing mass killings (Columbine happened in 1999 which was within the period of the 1994-2004 AWB), does nothing about the millions of pre-ban (and now considerably more post-ban) magazines, and launched AR and AK patterned rifles into a far higher level of popularity than they had before 1994. Only part of an AR rifle that is legally defined as a firearm is the lower receiver which contains the serial number. Stripped lowers can be purchased for less than $100/each. Once someone owns the lower they can buy parts to assemble a functional rifle at leisure and there is no legislation that would stop them.
