Dont you just love it when people who have no idea what they are talking about starts spouting off that stupid shit like the assault weapons ban would have made a difference?
Here are some graphics for the educationally retarded:
So in the end, the so called assault weapons ban that was implemented years before and that expired was nothing more than a political smokescreen because of the way the law was written since the ones who wrote it had no idea what an "assault weapon" was- they made it up so anything that had was "evil looking" in their minds had to be banned yet the very same weapon could be gotten legally with a few cosmetic changes.
