What effects on crime did the original "assault weapon" ban have?

There is no good news from or about Obama period. If this "treaty" with Mexico is ratified, our gun rights may go the way of all lost things....

From the link:

Quote:
If ratified and the U.S. is found not to be in compliance with any provisions of the treaty -- such as a provision that would outlaw reloading ammunition without a government license -- President Obama would be empowered to implement regulations without Congressional approval.

If you're a collector and the most valuable guns in your collection would be up for being banned I would think you would support it. It would make them even more valuable. Things that are illegal or banned are usually pretty valuable. Even if they are banned, its not like they are going to be going house to house to take what you have. You will be able to keep them.

I'm not saying I am for or against a ban just giving you something to think about.

That's a lobbyist website. That doesnt make them biased and inaccurate at all.
