Reply #59: It's the Assault Weapons Ban

[FeebMaster]

not the Automatic Weapons Ban. The AWB didn't ban any weapons. It banned from civilian manufacture semi-automatic weapons that can accept a detachable magazine and have more than one other feature from this list(for rifles): Grenade launcher, pistol grip, threaded barrel or flash suppressor, bayonet lug, and folding stock.

Manufacturers simply removed the bayonet lugs, threaded barrels, folding stocks, and flash suppressors and continued to sell the same weapons that were available before the ban.

Also, since it's only a ban on manufacturing new assault weapons for civilians, all of the weapons that were available before the ban are, of course, still available.

Your rant on nuclear and chemical weapons is tired and old and has nothing to do with the assault weapons ban or any other federal firearms law. Hand grenades, TNT, plastic explosives, and bazookas are all destructive devices and perfectly legal for civilians to own. Tanks are just bulldozers with armor and have nothing to do with firearms. Their guns would be considered destructive devices like any other piece of artillery and are perfectly legal to own.

Maybe you should read the federal laws you're commenting on before calling other people obtuse.
