what do you think the odds are of them reinstating it? if they do would I be able to make an assault weapon with a receiver made before 2004?

Pay a visit to our site at [url]www.awbansunset.com[/url] for loads of info on the ban. Particularly, check [url]www.awbansunset.com/scoreboard.html[/url] periodically to monitor how things are looking for a renewal.
Currently, if a renewal bill would come up for a vote in the Senate, it would have a chance at passing. Not a good chance, but still a chance. On the other hand, in the House of Representatives, it's a different story. The anti's have a STEEP uphill battle on their hands there.
Keep in mind, a renewal must pass both the Senate and the House. Bush would probably sign a renewal bill. But because he is not a rabid gun-hater, at least we most likely will not have to deal with him demanding that Congress take action on the issue (which Gore almost certainly would, had he won).
