That's the problem. This wont get rid of them. There will be loopholes, and
grandfather clauses out the arse. I dont know what the answer is here with
assault weapons, but I dont think getting rid of them is it. We need to get
back to the good old days when a father and son could go to the local range
and unload a few thousand rounds at some unsuspecting sand hill, or pepper
the side of a range with 300 7.62mm shells per minute. Also with the amount
of big brotherness going down everyday here, I'm not so sure removing access
to these weapons from the citizenry is such a good idea.

Subject: RE: Assault Weapons Ban
Fortunately given that the ban was attached to a pretty nasty bill
indemnifying firearms makers from lawsuits, its acceptable. Its so-called
rejection was simply a parliamentary maneuver. Also there are at least two
other bills with amendments before congress that extends the ban.
Besides what's the use of this sort of firearm to people. What is it really
good for but to kill lots of people. Its not something that you can hunt
with - this sort of weapon is inaccurate beyond a hundred yards. All its
good for is killing people. Better to get rid of that sort of weapon.
