Reply #54: It was a joke

It wasn't even a firearms ban, it banned cosmetic features and the actual weapon was still available for sale, it just couldn't have certain combinations of things like folding stocks, flash hiders, bayonet lugs. Once we get a decent majority they won't be able to resist the temptation and will maybe try for an actual firearms ban this time.

These things run in cycles anyway, the Democrats will get the majority back and waste the opportunity, just as the Republicans have done and the Democrats did before them and the Republicans did before them......etc and so on.
