The AWB is what happens when people realize that there's a gun problem but politicians can't fix the real gun problem (handguns) so they fix a fake gun problem instead. And now with DC v. Heller that's gone from politically impossible to constitutionally impossible so there's really no point in even bothering with it until the Supreme Court makeup changes, at minimum.

Doccers posted:It was more politicians realized that Handguns were too common to get the votes for a nation-wide ban, so they decided to start with rarer, scarier-looking guns, to try and ease people into the idea of bans. e: Well, except for the "ease them in" part. Maybe I'm just cynical, but given how little the AWB had to do with seriously addressing even the problem that it purported to, I doubt that the politicians that passed it were ever honestly interested in addressing any real issue.
