To clarify for anyone who really just doesn't pay any attention at all:

This ban did NOT deal with fully automatic firearms. Those have been illegal for private citizens to own for quite some time. This ban applied to SEMI-automatic clip-fed firearms- one bullet per trigger pull.

And the notion that any one type of weapon or another will "enable" criminals has been, and always will be rediculous. Criminals don't give a flying fuck what they use to commit a crime with, be it legal or illegal- they have already demonstrated that they don't care about the law by comitting FELONIES. What's a few years worth of imprisonment for a federal firearms charge if you're already facing execution for murder 1? What makes you think a criminal will care whether they got their firearm legally or through some douche on the black market? A SMART criminal wouldn't buy a LEGAL firearm in the first place- those leave a paper trail that leads right back to the owner. All any kind of ban or "gun control" law does is limit the ability of good, law-abiding citizens to defend themselves and their families.

And it was the founding fathers of this country who plainly stated in the US Constitution: "...the right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED." If you're a citizen, you have a right as a citizen to purchase a firearm and keep it for your own defense, or in times of extreme crisis organize a militia with your fellow citizens and use that firearm to defend your rights and your way of life.


"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
