What you think and what is fact are two different things. If you look at crime data and surveys you will find that over 80% of firearms used in criminal activity are handguns. The assault weapons ban was a ban on weapon cosmetics. The same firearms were readily available for people wanting to buy them minus the banned cosmetic features. All it did was make firearm companies modify their products slightly. If you look into the law it really was very silly. For example, why ban bayonet lugs? When was the last time you heard on the news of someone getting robbed with an AK-47 let alone someone getting stabbed by a bayonet!?? Hey if bayonets are so bad then why not ban all antique civil war rifles and old flintlock muskets from ther revolutionary war???
