I must admit, except for folks who have been slapped with a restraining order of some kind, I fail to see how this assault weapons ban has had any affect.

Since the ban's signing and its enforcement, I've been able to buy 20, 30, 40, 50, and 75 round mags, an AK47, a couple of SKS's, shotguns, a Tech 9 by intratech (before Harris and Kleibol had one!), large cap mags for anything, even a 30 rounder for my Browning Hi-Power 9mm (LOL Don't know why!). I've purchased weapons made in China, Serbia, Russia, and Romania.

I'm not for any weapons ban at all, and I'm not a total one issue Republican. I have a few "litmis test" of my own. Abortion, 2nd Amedment, Taxes. I just fail to see how this weapons ban has stopped someone from buying and owning any firearm they could before the ban. Again, with the one exception of the restraining orders floating around out there.

Maybe if I read stories from freepers that had problems or their rights violated I could understand better the illegal law's infringement.

My story doesn't reflect a major problem.

The bill's renewel needs to be defeated in the Senate, I agree, but to allow the demoncraps to get re-elected or elected over a law that doesn't affect our rights (even though the gun grappers thought it would) is really crazy.

Thanks for replying....

Most the other posters have articulated how the AW ban has impacted me. What I would like to know is, how has the ban made you safer?

It kept me from getting a rocket launcher for Christmas, but other than that, I am free and enjoy the greatest nation in the world.

Glock 17 mags...pre ban....20 bucks...today 120 bucks. AR15 preban...750 bucks....todays price for a SP1 CAR..1700 dollars or more. So it has not affected the availbility..but the price is out of control. So the ban has its outcome that was expected all along. Drive up the price so no one execpt the rich can afford firearms. Keep your cheap Romainian AK's and your chinese SK's I would rather own a quality rifle. If it aint Colt...blah blah blah. The ban has had an effect all right.....on my wallet.

"...How has the 'Assault Weapons' ban affected you?..."

It hasn't.

The ban because of a Restraining order is out of order as well in some cases. I had an old man who use to shoot on my pistol team. I'd say he was in his late 70s and a real quiet nice man. Well when the ban came into effect his house was visited by the local boys in blue and his guns were confiscated. He had a 22 Browning Bull barrel Competition firearm and a backup competition Ruger MK II. He lost his guns for a restraining order that was put on him back in the early 60s by his wife who had PMS and was always calling the police on the poor guy. Mainly for comming home late for supper and she'd scream abuse and get him in trouble. He lived near by and I did witness it once way back. Before the ink was dry on the restraing order she would make up with him. I don't ever recall him out of the house honestly. But when this law came into effect he lost his only enjoyment in life to an antiquated restraining order. There should be a limitation on the age of a restraining order.
