Regarding assault weapons, I again want to urge people to look into what you're supporting (if you support such things). These measures probably will not just limit "assault weapons" (which are fully automatic rifles like AR 15's and AK-47's), but will likely try to limit the semi-automatic versions of these rifles as well. The only difference between a semi-auto AR-15 and a hunting rifle are magazine capacity and the fact that the former looks "scarier." I also expect such legislation will try to limit magazine capacity in handguns as well (as seen already in states like CA).

Well, the 1994 ban expired, and I don't think there's been any successful reauthorization. I'm just wondering how it went down.
