AWB II failed in 04 and wont be seriously brought up again. In Congress, once something fails they don't often bring it back up. This time, even more so than in 94 and 04, AR15s esp are at the height of their popularity. In 1994, not as many people hunted with them, and with hunting it brings them a mainstream 'Fudd' kind of respectability.
I've said it before, and you guys are starting to see it -
ammo control is the new hotness. 2a doesnt say anything about right to keep alot of ammo does it? Well let's go on a ban-arama ! First target is going to be imports from ex-communist nations like Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Serbia - where the bulk of combloc milsurp is coming from.
(PS - yes, I think the 2a should probably include ammo protection as well, but that is a battle no one has had to fight - yet)
