All true! However, Nancy Lanza was a registered "Collector" and all her gun's including the Bushmaster adam used, were legally registered.ikaika wrote:Well, let's be honest here, if the Clinton ban had been renewed, Lanza would not have had a Bushmaster!
The 1994 federal ban, signed by President Clinton, outlawed 19 types of military-style assault weapons. A clause directed that the ban expire unless Congress specifically reauthorized it, which it did not.
Connecticut passed its own law in 1993. It defined assault weapons and listed semiautomatic firearms that were illegal to sell, transport or possess in the state. It banned future sales of 63 types of military style weapons. The state law also banned someone from using a combination of parts to convert a firearm into an assault weapon.
The Connecticut AWB (which is stricter than the Clinton AWB) is still Law in the state.
It's all a moot point, nobody has enough balls to do anything about it. I'd be real surprised if anything passed.
I guess 20 dead kid's don't deserve a vote. I just hope to god the next nut goes postal in NRA headquarters.
