So what actually happened during the last AWB

[Goodburbon]

Also the gun shows became laden with "tent stakes" because bayonets were not legal to sell.

I know if Obama is in office another 4 years he wants to reinstate the AWB permanately but what if they decide all so called Assault weapons were made illegal and you had to give yours up? Can they do that? I would like to say "from my cold dead hands" but now I am worried.

That something that would be scary on both ends and would go over like a lead balloon

The bayonets weren't illegal. It was just illegal to attach one to a semi-auto rifle if that rifle accepted detachable magazines.

They were removed from the SKS as it could not be released from the docks with them on it. Piles of the so called tent stakes were usually on hand somewhere at gun shows.

Thanks for all the info Gents!

'94 I was a freshman so didn't really care either.

Good to learn some of the intel.

Either way, I knew enough about it to be scared last night!

( not like I don't have my mind made up! Sheesh!!! )
