So I just called up Bushmaster to inquire about prices/features on an AR, and "Matt" tells me that the ban ends tomorrow morning. WTF?! When I asked him if he'd seen the BATFE's website, he said he had and that it was "misleading". It looks pretty explicit to me. Is this matt guy lying to me, or are a bunch of guys on the forums inadvertently breaking the law? My day just got derailed. |

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 |
when they tell you the official announcements from the agency responsible for enforcing the law are wrong.
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. |
If that's true an awful lot of criminals posted pix of their criminal posessions here on this site. |
DOH

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 |
Then why all the confusion? Everyone I'm hearing(inc. Wayne LaPierre) and everything I'm reading says its going to end tonite...

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.

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.
|
It seemed pretty clear to me too...BUT all I see and hear is pointing to tonite. Isn't that strange? or is it the lib's idea to alter reality??? |

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. |
