The sunset of the AW ban will be the first one we have gotten back. Realistically, there is no chance that NFA 34, GCA 68, or the MG ban of 89 will ever be repealed. At least we finally get to win back something. Realistically, it is a trivial matter. But it still makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Just for the record, I love shooting. I learned how to use a rifle at age four. I like most anything that uses powder and lead. Anything from a flintlock PA rifle to a M-240B will get my attention. My guns are used mostly for recreational shooting, with some light hunting and very light defensive purposes. They are of no danger to anyone.
If I could obtain a legal full auto AKM at a hardware store, nothing would change. I would still be the same man who just likes to shoot all kinds of guns.
What is so inherently bad about that?
