Glad the ban is finally gone! The assault weapons ban did nothing to stop crime at all. Almost zero crime is commited with "assault" weapons at all. This law only effected the law abiding citizens that obeyed it. Criminals still could get and use them. The law only stopped the importation and construction of one. It was a law that targeted weapons that looked scary and threatening. That is all it did! You could still build the same rifles! Just without a flash suppressor, bayonet lug, folding stock, or pistol grip. But they bullets and rate of fire stayed the same. Oh the AK-47 is illegal now, but the MAK90 isn't, because it doesn't have a pistol grip. It is the same rifle. Laws like these are ridiculous!
