I know that the AW ban was a misnomer, and was woefully ineffective as a policy instrument. It's tough to know from your minimallist post about whether your criticism is that the law sucked and therefore there's no point in perpetuating it, or something else, so I'll resist the temptation to speculate about it.

To clarify:
1. The law was for appearances only, had no substantive impact on anything gun-related, and was stoopid.
2. Satire? Do you know how many people are spinning this crap about automatics? Do you know how many people (okay, stoopid people who don't read) now believe that this expiration will allow automatics? My assumption was that you were making a funny stemming from your support of the ban, somewhat loosely, and that you were perpetuating a lie that you knew to be just that. If this was satire, I didn't get it, and I apologize.
