Couldn't have said it better myself. I am opposed to ANY regulation of firearms, period. However, the AWB was singularly stupid in that the authors of said law either didn't know which end of a firearm the bullets come out of - or thought that we didn't.
In words of one syllable, and assuming that people who wanted the ban in the first place know very little about guns, let me rephrase what you said:
1. The AWB has zero (zip, nada) to do with the function of a firearm, and
2. The AWB has everything to do with whether it looks scary or not.
The AWB was the first thing that convinced me that most of our congress critters are mentally challenged.
