Buy Your Guns Now
I'm so sorry to bring up so much unfortunate, depressing news time after time, but I swear it will stop soon. This is just a formal notice to everyone to start picking up so called "assault weapons" and high-capacity magazines while you can.
In 1994 the Assault Weapon Ban came about, restricting the sale of so called "assault weapons" or rifles with more than two "evil" features including:
A pistol grip.
A flash supressor.
A folding stock.
A bayonet lug.
The bill also banned the manufacture of magazines that held more than ten bullets.
Of course the bill has since sunsetted, thank the Lord, but you can bet the farm that Clinton or Obama would try to bring it back with a vengeance. Maybe even McCain.
Now those of you ignorant of the facts may think this is a good thing. Reducing violent crime is surely a good thing. Sadly statistics have shown that the AWB didn't actually work to do that. Impossible, right? No. Statistics show that the majority of firearms used in violent crime are actually cheap, small, easily-concealable pistols that carry less than ten rounds. These guns weren't even covered by the AWB.
And of course real assault weapons are heavily, heavily restricted in America and have been for years. Assault weapons fire fully-automatic or three-round bursts. (A three-round burst is when the gun automatically fires three shots in quick succession with a single pull of the trigger.) These guns are very expensive, require FBI background checks, long waiting periods, huge taxes, special licenses, fingerprinting, and other such things. You have to jump through a million bureaucratic hoops to get one.
But the "assault weapons" being banned are basically just anything appearing military-like. I'll give you a test. Pick the real assault weapon from the fake one.

Give up? Okay, the second one is the assault weapon--a Steyr AUG. The first gun is functionally exactly the same as this:

It's a Ruger 10/22, a small-caliber rifle with a limited range suitable only for killing large rodents and paper targets. But all the fancy parts on the first picture make it look evil, even though it's not. This is enough to have it restricted.
The above should have convinced you or at least helped to make you understand that bans on "assault weapons" are not about saving lives, but about enciting control. I hate sounding like a conspiracy theorist, but governments don't like people to have power and firearms give them that.
In short, pick up an AR-15 or a semi-auto AK-47 clone while you can. Hoard high-capacity magazines. Who knows, the people might be smart enough to shoot down further gun control bills, but with recent crimes committed by people with guns, the ignorant and obvious choice is to say, "Don't let people have them." Smart people know this doesn't work and only makes things worse, but smart people are a rare commodity.
For more information on why the old Assault Weapon Ban was filled with ill-thought-out concepts that didn't even help reduce crime, see this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfKADcfE90U
Also, this PDF file backs all its claims of gun control not working with statistics made by several government agencies: http://www.gunfacts.info/pdfs/gun-facts/4.2/GunFacts4-2-Screen.pdf
Please, people, let's not make that mistake again. Get educated. People that understand guns don't fear them.
P.S. There is no reason bayonet lugs should be restricted. When's the last time you heard of a gang-banger in a bayonet attack? Never! Because it doesn't happen!
