One more idiot
Amy Fisher is either an idiot or a liar:
In 1994, President Clinton signed into law the ban of 19 types of dangerous assault weapons. There was a stipulation, or “sunset clause,” which stated the ban would be lifted in 10 years if Congress didn’t renew it. President Bush claims he would sign the bill renewing the ban if it made its way across his desk. Unbelievably, these assault weapons that will now flood the streets of the United States are the same type our military is trying so hard to get off the streets of Iraq.
Lie number one. The weapons in Iraq are machine guns. The assault weapons ban did not affect machine guns.
In 1994 the Internet wasn’t commonplace in every home, providing people with unlimited access to just about any type of information they desire. The Internet has also become a tool for the unethical and even the criminal to market products such as legalized guns and medications, without really knowing to whom they are selling these products. . . It only stands to reason that there will be opportunists offering assault weapons like Uzis, AK-47s and TEC-9s online without giving a second thought as to who the purchaser is on the other side of the screen. Online gun distributors have already offered assault weapons and related products for presale so that anyone who wanted these items could have them in their hands on Sept. 13th, when the ban expired.
And any legal firearms purchase done online is required to go through a Federally Firearms License, aka a gun store owner. You don’t just hop on Ebay and buy a gun. If you do, you’re breaking the law.

What? You mean I can’t get around my own state’s ban by downloading an “assault” weapon from some Internet site based in Bermuda? Damn.

I am often taken back at the misinformation either willful or unintentional of those who support the AWB. (and I don’t mean Average White Band)
