It was a stupid law, assault weapons just aren't traditionally used in crimes...they can't be concealed easily like a pistol can.
Besides, my mini-14 is legal, but if I put a bayonet lug on it....Poof! It's an assault rifle. To my knowledge, no recorded crime in the history of America has ever been committed with a bayonet attached to a rifle. It seems to me like most of the things covered in the ban are specifically aimed at ak-47 and sks type rifles...most notably thumb holes in the stock. I think people were scared of the image of the chi-com (?) chinese soldier with his sks and bayonet charging.
