KNS Ban Coverage
They have a list of firearms that were formerly banned. The list is, of course, wrong because the weapons listed would also have to have more than one of a folding stock, pistol grip, flash hider, threaded barrel, and bayonet lug. As such, those weapons without those features were not banned.
Meanwhile, the ban is already lowering prices in local gun stores:
Gun salesman Clarence Miracle said prices of certain firearms dropped Monday, hours after the expiration of the federal ban on assault weapons.
Miracle, a sales consultant at Craig’s Firearms Supply and Police Distributors, 8671 Chapman Highway, said guns like the Uzi that usually sold for $1,200 now cost $750, and ammunition-feeding devices that once cost $119 are now selling for $19.
“People are coming in and buying tokens. They’re like mementos,” he said. “They just want them now because they couldn’t have them before.”
So, for the second time, the assault weapons ban will put more guns in the hands of citizens. As it was being passed, manufacturers cranked them out and there was a huge supply. Now, it will be higher. I love the irony that the ban will be responsible for putting more guns on the street. Speaking of street, I still haven’t seen any blood on mine.
And a final quote:
Those who paid high prices for pre-banned guns will be disappointed because they’re cheaper
Yup.

Did you notice the line where they described the SWD M-10, M-11, M-11-9 and M-12?
“Based on the design of the MAC-10, their fully automatic cousin, these pistols are designed to fire many bullets over a wide area in seconds”
Is she implying that these “unbanned” pistols will spray bullets? No mention of the fact that fully automatic guns are/were banned decades ago.

i was thinking about buying some things cheap in hopes that i can sell them at a higher rate if the ban is put back in place.
if kerry wins i am going to buy as many guns as i can afford.

There may be people who invested in high-priced pre-bans expecting to profit, but in my opinion most buyers are like myself – delighted that the price has dropped.
It doesn’t matter that I’d lose money selling what I have, because I never planned to do so. What is important is that the next one I buy will cost less.
