- Banned
- #21
The ban came could have been overturned in Congress.The 103rd Congress was controlled by the democrats, both the house and senate. The republicans took over in November, the ban was passed in September.
That ban is one of the reasons the Republicans won control of Congress after 40 years of democrat party control and it is also why democrats had been afraid to push gun control.
Because the democrat lost congress In part because of the ban, Obama felt the need to do Fast and Furious, selling guns to drug cartels so they would show up in crime scenes in Mexico
The Republican controlled House voted to undo the stupid ban. It was a tie in the Senate. Then that dumbass peice of shit Al Gore came in and voted no.
Of course Slick Willy would have vetoed the bill.
The AWB was one of the most stupid bills ever passed by Congress. It was a joke but it ran up the cost of 30 rd magazines for a few years.
