The assualt weapons ban expires now on monday .

So what will be legal now ?

 Dud Sep 11, 2004
From what I gather, nothing much will change. For example, I know a guy that lives in a trailer down by the quarry and he has a shitload of guns in it, including an M-16, and none of it was confiscated or what not during the assault weapon ban. :huh

There's nothing much more assault-worthy than an M-16, maybe with the ban lifted he can get the Full-Auto kit for it! :banana I know that was illegal.

EDIT: Here is a site explaining the assault weapon ban:

I guess everything in that article is prohibited now, (M16-A1, M16-A2 etc) but will be completely legal to own, come Monday.

EDIT2: I've always wanted to mow down some deer with a M60.

I hate rednecks.

an m-60 is a machine gun , still illegal im pretty sure .

I would also be a poor choice to use as a hunting rifle because its not very accurate so you'd need to be somewhat close unless yor planning on using a few chains or crates of ammo .

Edit: Also the m-60's old news the 240B is the newer thing , used for suppressive fire and also has a large calibur good for possibly getting people behind cinder block and small brick walls .

If you want to blow a deer to bits then use a 50 cal .

Im doing research on the matter and it seems what was made illegal .

1.Fully automatic assualt weapons .

2. Suppressor ends

3. Bayonet attachments

3.Grenade attachments

4.Pistol grips

5.30 round magazines

6.Foldable buttstocks

7.Weapons that are easily modifible to fully automatic .

If you have and can prove to the ATF that the weapon or parts was manufactured prior to 1994 then its legal .

Id like to get a miltiary grade m-4 carbine , all the ones for sale here look funny with out the suppressor and bayonet attachment . I think they also use a different size ammunition . Then id also put a foldable but stock and grenade launcher with scope on it .

Here you can get class three assualt weapons and concealed weapons perits for $15 , this law doesnt seem to do much except maybe drive the price up to an insane range .

The whole thing is being blown out of proportion, too. Kerry is scaring (well, trying to) people by telling them that it will encourage people to run out and buy assault weapons and that terrorists will want to come here and buy guns to kill people with. I'm serious, he was on TV earlier blabbering about it. I don't care if you love the guy or what, but come on. Many people don't seem to realize that there are other gun control laws and restrictions in place, many of which are already excessive or stupid. If I was going to obtain a gun to mow people down, I could always do it illegally, and no ban can do jack about that.

Yeah and boy do are those gun control laws ever effective.

Out of curiousity tho, aren't bayonets the long spear like things you attatch to the end of a gun? What the hell is the use/why the hell would anyone wanna have one of these? To spear a charging bull?

Well, that's a different story, but yeah... that goes back to the last sentence of my post above.
