First, the answer to yesterday's question, which was:

Of the 16 firearms pictured below, how many were banned, or would be subject to being banned,  from new manufacture or importation after the effective date of the "assault weapon" ban according to the provisions of that law? (NOTE : disregard magazine capacity)

The answer is...

NONE.

 

Each and every one of the models shown in the image collection was legally manufactured and/or imported during the effective period of the federal "assault weapon" ban.  Of the models which underwent cosmetic redesign to comply with the provisions of the act, each of the "post-ban" models operated in the same fashion as their "pre-ban" counterparts.

Are you starting to get the point yet?  Is it sinking in yet that the federal "assault weapon" ban was a stupid law?

In any event, on to the next question:
