1. Shame on CBS...
Edited on Tue Jun-01-04 09:37 AM by beevul
"The ban, which covers the sales and importation of the AK-47 and 18 other kinds of automatic weapons, was passed by a Democratic-controlled Congress and signed by President Clinton in 1994. Those weapons will become legal again unless Congress votes to renew the legislation."

On edit: I wasn't going to point it out, as I thought the inaccuracy OBVIOUS, but for those not in the know, the AWB sunsssetting will NOT legalize automatic weapons.
