I agree with everything you said, and although you probably know, full
auto, sawed offs, silencers, et al, are NOT illegal. Also the ownership,
selling, or purchase of high cap mags, or "assault" weapons was not banned
during the assault weapon ban. As you pointed out, the "ban" was so that
manufacturers and importers could not produce "new" weapons, mags for the
non military/leo's. Like I said, I agree with what you said. In my opinion,
the ban was a feel good legislation for the uninformed.

solely on looks. Many were touting it removing fully automatic
weapons from the streets. It didn't! Those have been illegal for many
years. It did ban large detachable magazines which really did nothing
except to cause manufacturers to stop producing them. That resulted in
our troops being unable to easily obtain extra magazines.
