Not to mention have a FFL, which requires an act of God to get, and pay $500 per year per weapon.
The AWB only applies to semi-atuomatic weapons that look nasty. The guns banned were found to be used in less than 2% of crimes committed (see the PDF in my sig), and so the ban itself had a negligible effect on crime.
