Ding, dong, the witch is dead....
...or at least the AWB is, anyway!!!! :p
"Ten years was a long time to attempt to prove the value of the 1994 federal semi-auto rifle and magazine ban. The gun prohibitionists had their chance to do so, but they could not. The ban was useless against crime -- the alleged reason it was passed in the first place. Even federal studies couldn't prove that it reduced crime. All kinds of public officials and media figures lied through their teeth to renew the ban, but they all failed miserably and now hang their heads in total defeat.
We put up with it for ten years. A decade-long insult. The sunset provision just kicked in, the law has now disappeared from the books, and that's that. It's a huge success of historical import. (Be sure to read the BATFE web page announcing the result of this gun and magazine ban being allowed to expire. Email a copy to any in a long list of mediafolk who've been so utterly deceitful in their attempt to force a renewal of the ban.)
So who gets the credit for this bad law going bye-bye? Lots of parties will take credit, of course. But who really deserves the credit? Who stopped this law from being renewed?
In a word: we all did. The combined efforts and tireless activism of many groups and individuals prevented Feinstein and her shamefully disobedient cronies from renewing, strengthening and making permanent this particular assault on your right to keep and bear arms."
