Re: Is putting nuts away still a good idea?

I love how everyone that is against the AWB being repealed
states that machine guns will now be available on the street
for purchase by the common man! Please check your laws and
become educated before you make up a response. Machine guns
have always required a special permit before, during, and
after the assault weapons ban. All the AWB was designed to
accomplish was appease the anti-gun liberals that would like
to see all guns banned. The real only difference now is that
the pre-ban AR-15's are now cheaper, and I can now buy an AR-
15 with a bayonet lug so that it can be used in a drive-by
bayonetting. Please, before you get on a soapbox, educate
yourself so that you are at least putting the right
information out there. THanks
