This law and all laws enacted by anti-gun pols follow the same modus: Declare at the onset that it has achieved its goal merely by existing, which is pure cacadoody.
Nearly all gun laws ultimately fail to attain the results 'assumed' by their proponents at the onset of their incarnations. They are never revisited to see if they actually deliver as promised.
It was indeed fortunate that in 1994, the NRA-led opponents of the "assault weapons" ban insisted on a sunset provision. Any gun bills that survive debate and are passed and signed into law should include a mandatory sunset.
If it takes a constitutional amendment to get that done, very well; make it so. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
