The hated semi-auto ban has finally sunset. This is largely thanks to all the efforts of peope like us, at the grassroots level, who let our representation know that we would not tolerate any more anti-gun legislation, and that the semi-auto ban was one of the most absurd bit of legislation passed in the last twenty years.
The Democrats are pissed.
And I'm smiling.

Thank you for beautifully pointing out why most gun advocates are friggin nuts.
"Any" anti-gun laws...even the logical ones are fought against.
Posted by: Gohepcat at September 16, 2004 10:49 AMYou have examples of logical gun control laws? Please, by all means, expound upon them. Be sure to provide relevant supporting documentation, and accurate statistics that prove the effectiveness of gun control.
Posted by: Linda at September 16, 2004 04:58 PMAre you certain it's fair to demand logic from those who support gun control? The closest that I've seen any get is some imperious demand that X should NOT be in the hand of the peasant-oh, sorry, the common citizen.
Posted by: Patrick Chester at September 17, 2004 03:14 AMExcellent post, Linda. Even better comment, Patrick. Yes- now that the 'assault weapons' ban has expired, my neighborhood has been riddled with a number of drive by shootings, all with said previously banned weapons! Oh, wait- no, that's what the anti-gun nuts said would happen...
