... is how dumb some people can be. The AWB is nothing but bullsh*t on a platter that makes certain people think they have accomplished something.

The fact is, it is full of loopholes, and guns are relatively simple mechanical devices that can and are easily modified should someone wish to get around this "ban". Sure, if you get caught with an illegal gun you will be in a spot of trouble, but it is minor compared to the trouble you'll be in if you kill people. People who have such things in mind don't care about your stupid little "ban".

People should just grow up. You cannot control everything in your environment. Stupid restrictive gun laws are as effective as drug laws, which is to say basically ineffective.

Make yourself feel happy, call your senator and demand that stupid laws like the AWB be retained. And while you are at it, let our Rep rivals know you are doing it. They love using your stupidity as a wedge issue, it has worked VERY WELL for them thank you.

Is that inflammatory enough?
