I'll tell you how it affected me! ^{\a friend/} This "friend" of mine ordered a few pre-ban magazines for his Beretta 92. Everything went fine until this "friend" came home to find that his package had arrived and that this "friend" was now committing a felony worth 5 or 10 years in Club Fed!!! Think about it, this is legal equivalent of possessing a quarter kilo of Colombian nose candy! All this from what is otherwise a completely unregulated item except for an almost illegibly small date and serial number. After some desperate snips with some sheet metal shears and I quick trip to town to find a secluded dumpster, I finally understood the real intent of this stupid law.

I won't tell you how many post-ban rifles in pre-ban configuration I have handled at gun shows before checking their serial numbers in my PDA to find they are equivalent to unregistered machine guns just because someone attached a $25 plastic 'pistol grip" stock. This law has to go. If the Republicans can't let it expire after being given control of all three branches of government, I just might start looking for a new party that can.

Been there, done that. Expensive lessons.

Okay, now I'm confused...If they were pre-ban, why were they illegal? It's okay to buy preban, and unless they are marked that they are "post-ban" they are presumed to be legal.

Can you explain?
