Assault weapons used to be banned and crimes committed using them fell
Bullshit!!!!!!!!! And piled High and Deep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those banned guns, with maybe the exception of the Tec 9 pistol and possibly a few more, were changed just a little bit and continued to be sold. For example, the the dreaded "AR-14". Basically, companies began to make these weapons without a flash suppressor and they changed the name to, hmmm, I think Bushmaster and maybe one or two other things. Stop by the next gun store you come across and talk with them about that.
The Ruger Mini 14 is just as deadly as any AR-15 but wasn't banned. I assume it was overlooked because it didn't look quite as mean as the AR-15. I can't remember the circumstances but I think Ruger kissed a lot of political ass to keep the Mini 14 from being banned.
Are you trying to tell me/us that crime went down because criminals are very discriminating and would never commit a crime unless they had a rifle with a flash suppressor? LOL
