I have seen alot of different answers on media polls and wondering what is the official hour this ban is gone. 12:01A.M. the 13th or 12:01A.M. the 14th or something else altogether

And that's Eastern time. Us westerners get to swap parts at the same time, which is 9pm.

I don't think the law says anything about time zones, so it would be midnight local time. Not that it matters much though.

It's about 12:15 local time-

Is it safe?

Checked the ATF site, guess it is safe! From the ATF site:

Semiautomatic Assault Weapon Update
By statute, the prohibitions relating to semiautomatic assault weapons and large capacity ammunition feeding devices expired on September 13, 2004. As a result, certain sections of the Gun Control Act, 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44, and its implementing regulations, 27 CFR Part 478, are no longer in effect.
