The Assualt Weapons Ban is gone or will be gone in the next few days what is everyones view on this?
I think people are greatly over reacting on the AWB becouse they do not understand it, im tired of people on the news saying that people can now buy AK-47 at there local wal-mart(joke) and the police are afraid of the ban being lifitd, they use the 47 as a example becouse it is one of the most widly use automatic weapon used around the world, but they dont tell you the ones normally being used(mind you Assualt weapon crimes are way in the minority)
in the states the ones that are being sold are Semi-Automatic, they are not fully automatic(the ones you can legally buy) there is a law agenst automatic(aka machine guns) sence the 1930s that law states that no one can own a weapon that shoots more than 3 rounds a pull of the trigger. And people are freaking out that people can by a semi-automatic(notice that sence this whole talks about AWB i only heard one person state that these are the Semi on the news) ak-47
The AWB is only about the add-ons you can get on a gun, the ban never stoped anyone from geting a ak-47 during the ban, just teh extra stuff you can put on it, like certain grips for a shotgun, foldable stocks, flash compressors, and longer clips. there is no never was a ban on the guns just the accessorys that go to it.
The weapons even fully "Assualted Out" work the same as they did before, they are the same weapon just with "Assualt" Add-ons, like for a shot gun before you could only by one with a sholder stock, now you can buy them with a pistol grip, the only diffrence? its the same weapon but now it can be concealed easyer and is more moble, the ak-47 with there assult ad-ons? the flash compressor? all that does is make the flash of the mussle not so bright to make you not so flash blinded at night and to make you less noticable, pistols? you can now get them with longer clips, the foldable stocks that can now be bought? they just allow for the weapon to be conseled easly, tehre is nothing about the actual weapon is changed.
Now about the actuall ban being lifted, i personaly dont care if its lifted or reinstated, i dont care about having a flash compressor or a pistol grip for my shotgun, the only thing the lift in teh ban helps are the collectors and gun owners who want this and the bad guys who also want them, doesnt really help teh cops any to not have this ban, and will probly be more helpfull to the cops to have it reinstated, so if i had to vote on weather or not to have the ban reinstated, i would vote for it, the add-obns have nothing to do but for cosmetic and concelment, this makes it easyer for crimnals and others to hind a shotgun or whatever with them and so for the law inforcments sake i think it shoudl be reinstated, but dont expect me to protest for it cuz over all i dont care weather or not its banned
Im just tired of the news saying that soon people will start running around the streets with automatic weapons(though they never call it automatic they use the term assualt whitch confuses people i mean if some one came up to you and yell "He has a assualt rifle!" wouldnt you think a fully automatic machine gun? or a normal rifle with a flash compressor? this is why i dislike the media)
ugh
