^^ cops say gun cirmes with semi and automatic guns went down but I haven't seen the statistics. I heard one gun dealer on my local tv station say that the "ban" restricted some features on the guns themselves which the average joe could add on after they had purchased the gun. I'm not a big gun nut so its not giving me a hardon knowing I can get an AK if I wanted one. However, I find it cynical of the current administration to let it lapse after it vowed to protect every citizen from crime. I guess we know who the cops are voting for come November.
