to be available at Wal-Mart, so why allow the ban to expire?
One of the reasons that I know of it the NRA is pushing HARD to keep this
issue from being voted on. I am sure there are many others.

Subject: Assault Weapons Ban Question
Ok, so I may not be a big fan of firearms, but they are allowed under the
Constitution and I am much less of a fan of any legislation that erodes our
rights, BUT:
Why is the continuation of the Assault Weapons ban a big deal? I heard a bit
on NPR this am about it and I am confused. I know that it is not as simple
as "The ban keeps these weapons off of the streets" because I know that it
does not. What I don't understand is why, aside from politics, is it a big
deal to extend the ban. Is there a tremendous price tag for keeping the ban
in place? It seems that the Republicans have no desire to bring the issue to
the floor, so it will expire. The Dems seem to want it brought up, because
they feel that it will be extended.
I guess what I am asking is that I don't see the need for Uzis, Tec-9s etc.

(Not wanting to start a flame war, just curious as to why we would not want
the ban extended)
