cthulu, are you actually familiar with the mechanics of the AW ban? Do you know what the net result of the ban was? It was that prices on "pre-ban" guns went up due to collectability issues, and that the manufacturers merely removed the offending features from the guns. If anything, the 10 years of the AW ban caused a dramatic INCREASE on the amount of firepower available on the street, since it made "assault weapons" into a banned but desireable thing. It's the law of unintended consequences.
Are you familiar with the Serbu BFG-50? It's a single-shot .50 BMG rifle that was recently banned in California. The guy who makes them sold more BFG-50s to californians the day after the ban was signed into law than he sold in the entire previous month to the entire United States.
Prohibition NEVER works. It doesn't matter what is being prohibited....booze, drugs, or guns. Where there's a demand, there WILL be a supply.
