In reply to the discussion: Former Speaker of the House Tom Foley dies at 84 [View all]AtheistCrusader
(33,982 posts)34. That's not true at all.
I have never feared an ex post facto confiscation of my firearms. I don't know which propaganda machine sold you on that lie, but it is a lie.
The ban did a couple things, including pricing larger than ten round magazines for the pistol I carry, at 60$ apiece, instead of the 20$ they ought to cost. It also prevented me from obtaining a single rifle with certain safety and ergonomic features allowing my wife and myself to safely and comfortably use the same rifle.
That's all the fucking 'ban' did.
Pointless legislation.
