I would like to know when the law concerning the "five evil features" has been issued, by which US administration (President) and why

It was signed by Bill Clinton back in '94.

As to why...

The 'Why' was they were trying to ban 'military looking' rifles in the US.  They came up with a list of features that they thought only 'evil military style rifles' would have and banned further production of rifles with those features.

What they didn't count on was the Yankee Spirit.  The rifle makers just delete enough evil features and continued to sell the (now nuetered) rifles.

The "they" was Josh Sugarmann of Handgun Control flipping through a catalog picking out evil guns to ban and then looking for common features.  That's the origin of the evil features.  

Yeah, Bill Clintoon signed it.  Foul villan!!
