When was the last time a gun ban/law expired? And what was it?

Never in history, as far as I know.

When it was enacted in 1994--they put the "sunset" clause in to get some RINOs and Conservative Democrats to bite off. It was almost killed in Conference 3 times.

It turned out to be a disaster for the Democrats in the next election, including the first time a sitting Speaker of the House had been defeated.

Sorry, I didn't make that post clear:

"Conference" is a term that describes what happens when the House and Senate sit down and hash out what seperate bills they have voted on to become law. There are always differences, and they have to iron them out before they can take the bill to the President to sign.

I remember in 1994 calling my Congressman in South Carolina (where I was then living). He told me over the phone what was happening.

True, but many of the provisions of the 1968 Gun Control Act were repealed by the 1986 Firearms Owners Protection Act. (FOPA) Most notably the provision prohibiting interstate purchase of ammunition, the requirement to present ID and sign a register when purchasing handgun ammunition, including .22 rimfire. I used to present my active duty military ID for that. :) )

There was as benefit to the AWB: it activated a sufficiently small subset of gunowners, as we realized we were under a full scale attack by the grabbers. In a way, this was the 9/11 of the grabber wars.

Now we are fighting back.
