A correction to what you posted earlier: generally speaking automatic weapons are not available to the general public without special licensing at both federal and state levels. As a purported gun owner I'm surprised you don't know that or, more alarmingly, seemingly don't know the difference between semi and full automatic.
30 round clips then, how about that?

And as I said, are you for states rights or not? If you are, then this is a victory, right?

I would have been living underwater at the time, on a mobile launch platform carrying up to 16 FBM missiles.

Very limited access to any news sources.

I was 14 at the time Lech Walesa sounded the call for a four hour general strike in Poland on March 27th 1981 , (living in Munich , Germany) the heralding of the downfall of the Soviet Union and its assorted "dominions" in a long slow march towards democracy and the ripping up of the iron curtain.



Why do I get the feeling this is not the momentous event which truly changed the face of Europe and the world which the OP refers to ?

Wasn't the attempted assassination on Reagan on the 30th of March ?

Am not sure many realize this, but it was Johnson who turned our immigration laws upside down. Not in a good way either.

No, but seriously this is about an important anniversary in America's history. If you care not for American history or are a foreigner that's all right.

Many of us here actually find our history an important guide to our future as a nation.

The pop culture horde may outnumber us but American History Buffs will never die!
According to many on this site, we're not a nation, just a collection of 50 independent republics. So really, we should each be more interested in what happened to our govenors, than the head of a treaty alliance.
