1994 Clinton Gun Ban

I was talking with a local sheriff today and the sheriff said that he is glad the 1994 "Clinton Gun ban" or "Crime Bill" is going to expire.

He said that when they buy guns they are stuck with them unless they can sell them to another law enforcement agency. The guns are stamped with "Law Enforcement Ony" and can't be sold to private citizens while the ban is in effect. He said after the gun ban expires he will able to sell the old guns to any legal private citizen.

He also said that Gun dealers don't stock the weapons for police enforcement which means when he has to special order them and he has to pay more money for them than he did before the ban.

He also mentioned he didn't have any problem with CCW permits as long as they obey the law.

comments?

Clinton should have kept HIS gun concealed much better.

Maybe, but it was his poor aim that got him in trouble. ;)

Yeah, but most people discard body armor when it gets shot. :D
 
I blame Zep for sending this thread way off-topic. Shame on you Zep!

The big problem is 10 round magazines. Magazines for law enforcement guns can hold more than 10, they are stamped LE, and it is illegal to own them if you are not LE.

Gun dealers do not stock LE magazines usually but LE get big discounts anyway from dealers. Smaller town LEOs might not have a big bulk discount to rely on. If they aren't buying many, then price shouldn't be a big issue anyway.
 
I guess I should also ask if every one understands what the ban effective made illegal.

Any Ideas?

You should be able to buy them as long as they fit a Pre Ban gun.
The sheriff I spoke too was from a rural area. So they wouldn't buy in bulk and have little money to begin with.

Yes, it banned scary looking guns that don't function any differently than guns that don't look as scary.

Hee-hee. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment. I figured some Antigun people would chime in their ideas.

You get an A for today. :D
 
I bought 2000 rounds of this...

The "ban" was written by retarded people, for retarded people.

what do you define as an "antigun" person? A person that supports gun controls like you do? Or is it a person who supports gun controls up to a certain point....beyond this point becoming "anti-gun"

want to have a go at defining "anti-gun" or this point where support of certain gun control measures suddenly causes you to become"anti-gun"? whereas support of certain gun control measures can still allow you the title of pro-gun????

sorry, but its all so confusing....

I never had an interest in that gun other than from a history perspective. I do have a AR-15 and AK47. Nothing better than going to the range to try my latest batch of ammunition. (All along people telling me the ammo wouldn't work.) It's nice to be right every once in while.

Yeah I know. I get confused too. In the USA there seems to be two distinct groups. Anti-gun goes along with the "gun control" Most of these people don't believe that private citizens should have guns or they believe the restrictions should be unreasonable. I think the UK is a good example of what I mean.

I don't believe we need any further laws than what we have. The major crime incidents that have taken place were done illegally and futher laws wouldn't have stopped it from taken place.

I don't think anyone would argue that there should be no regulations.

A certain Libertarian poster here would argue that. Even for private possession of nukes, IIRC.

Oh, gawd, why did you say that... I can hear him from here...


Look, don't bother, Shanek, I'll do it for you, okay?


I DID NOT SAY THAT YOU LIAR!

That saved you a post. Concentrate on justifying passengers carrying guns on planes.
