No, the so call "assualt weapon" ban is over , Now in most of
the Free State (excluding some like People's Republic of
California, New York, New Jersey etc) as long as the assualt weapon
is made in the US, we can buy these weapons without
restrictions.
Infact the ban was a joke becasue they deem an assualt weapon as
one that has a flash hider, bayonet lug, ablity to shoot semi auto,
pistol grip, folding stock. and to make it legal at that time you
can only have 2 or 3 of the items! During the ban, say you take an
Ar15 and take out the bayonet lug, flashhider ! it somehow become
not an assualt weapon.
Anyway! the importation of assualt weapon is still on! So! we still
cannot buy say a German HK G36 or somthing like that! However,
foreign company is comming to built the weapon here in the US! like
FN has their P90 and P2000 bullpup, SIG is releasing a US version
of their SIG 55x series rifle, heard Steyr would do likewise!
Its all so political, and the sad thing is the people who write
these rules have no understanding of firearms whatsoever and that
is the SAD part.
