Goodbye assault weapons ban!

The Associated Press article has changed, too. It’s much more moderate in tone than before. FAUX, on the other hand, is still as partisan and wrong as it was earlier. Their commentary could be scripted by Sarah Brady.

Manufacture just became legal today, so it’ll take a while for the supply to come in and be reflected in price changes.

I attended a gun show in Phoenix over the weekend. I did see some prices drop on pre-ban magazines for Uzi and H&K 91/MP5. 40 and 50 round mags in the $20-25 range which is in some cases a 1/4 of what they had been. I guess the dealers figured that no one would buy them at inflated prices this close to the sunset date.

Some weapons, particularly handguns like the Walther P99, did not exist in '94 so there are no pre-ban high capacity magazines. There are already law enforcement magazines which will be legal for civilians and I expect the only change at the factory for those will be to stop stamping them.
