Direct quote from www.atf.gov:
"Q: Was the SAW ban permanent? A: No. The law enacting the ban provided that it would expire 10 years from the date of enactment, which was September 13, 1994. Therefore, effective 12:01 a.m. on September 13, 2004, the provisions of the law will cease to apply." Click here to read the rest: Semiauto Assault Weapons Ban FAQ |

Yeah, that's what I thought. But why is a guy at Bushmaster telling me something completely wrong?

You really have to give someone the "WTF Look"
 when they tell you the official announcements from the agency responsible for enforcing the law are wrong.Then again, we waited 10 years. Another day really isn't going to matter. |

I don't know. You can't argue with the text there, it gives exact time and date. Maybe they are giving it a day to CYA, maybe there are uninformed or choose to be uninformed. Any way you cut it, they, of all people, should know better. |

Are you going to believe what an uninformed someone from the ATF in West Palm Beach office said, or are you going to believe what Audrey Stucko, "Chief, Firearms and Explosives Services Division, ATF" wrote in a signed letter on the ATF website?

Guys,
Everyone is so hung up on this. I don't understand all this. If I were in business for myself, I would wait the extra day also. So what about what one print out says. The way the ATF works, they could shut you down and cause MAJOR headaches even though THEY are wrong. Piss on that. Wait the extra day. Anyone who can't get over it can just move on. So save your money one extra day  Doc |

All I know is this:
It says the time and date on their website. "12:01AM on September 13, 2004" is a pretty definite point in time and hard to argue with. Have the f^@#'tards go to their own web page and read the info that their superiors are putting out. Then they should contact their superiors for clarifying information if they are still confused.

Charlotte office says it's tonight too. I don't mean to act like a troll, and it really is pretty much a moot point now, but this doesn't give me any confidence in the ATF at all. Sorry to spoil the fun guys, I'll quit bitching.

Did you ask them to read the letters on their own web page? They probably didn't. I'm done with this also. Beurocratic retards.

Hard to believe someone ignores what is on the ATF website..
ban instituted for 10 years. began 9-13-94.. how on earth is 10yrs later 9-14-04? or even 9-13-04? a ban for 1 year starting jan 1 ends dec 31, not jan 1!! but it is a moot point, since the ban will be just as over tomorrow as it is today. rant mode off. |
