...we had an AWB and for what it was worth, it did little or nothing in the way of crime prevention...I'd like to acquire an M1A...National Match version...I dunno, maybe it'd be on the ban list...then again, maybe the ones already available will still be available...I've got a couple pre-ban (1st version of the ban) guns that I enjoy...I think the website of the President-elect has/had announced the new ban, along with something about the Tiehardt (sp?) amendment, along with something about the "gun-show" loophole, along with something about keeping children safe with some not-new scheme that will force folk out of business...has/had...because I don't believe it's on-line anymore...or something else is up...so yeah, I believe the majority in Congress will pass gun legislation, by then president Obama will likely sign it into law...and the election two years from now will see changes...meanwhile, some of the guns banned will still be available in one form or another...the media will continue to hype anything involving a firearm...the public will continue to foster and feed this fashionable ideology...folk will speak out about the issue from both sides...and eventually...maybe years down the line...we'll see some kind of gun confiscation...although it won't be called that...something along the lines of what has happened in other countries...and some folk will have kept most of their firearms back...and all the while this is going on, other events will be taking place...and in the end, who knows what will happen...so until then, keep your powder dry, your ammo boxes full...
