That article leads people to believe that the market will be flooded with these weapons and that crime will spike. The market is already flooded with them. The ban was idiotic, all it did was get rid of certain features on these weapons that mean nothing at all. The firearm companies just made slight modifications to the weapons(such as changing the name and putting a different stock on them) and kept on making them. These so called assault weapons have been readily available and easy to get for the past 15 years! Nothing is going to change, we are not going to have people running around tomorrow shooting everything up. There were also plenty of other just as deadly, if not more, firearms available on the market which were not even targeted. Well, it's no use making a deal of it now. The ban is dead.
