They didn't know what an assault rifle was. They got their ban, for a time, nevermind that these "assault rifles" were not a significant factor in gun crime or gun deaths. This is why the ban failed to produce results and why our own law enforcement agencies had no interest in continuing to throw good money after bad.
Oh okay my bad.

@ Dyre.
That's what I find so hilarious about the continuing debate. Laying aside the problems of prohibitionism...if you're going to ban something, ban the right goddamned thing...is that too much to ask? Hell, If you wanted to reduce gun crime and gun deaths you'd probably get more traction from decriminalizing drugs and demilitarizing the police. Those are, apparently, the two largest factors in the first place (the latter,famously and recently, being responsible for more gun deaths than all other causes in one of our more loopy states).
That above is laying aside that 6 out of 10 gun deaths in this country are suicide (and that stat ignores suicide by cop). So, maybe if the above doesn't work...we could get people the fucking shrinks and meds they need for a change........but nooo, this is 'murica.....and that probably sounds too much like socialism.
Mull that over for a minute..only 40% of gun death in america is an issue of crime or malice, and it's centered entirely around people playing cops and robbers. "Gun problem" my ass..
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

We used to have a good mental health system until Reagan came and fucked it up. When he did a lot of those people
just blended in with society and in the long run it really fucked us over..

For those who have posted and are not a citizen of the U.S., shut up it' none of your affair. For those who are citizens and you don't vote shut up, you gave up your right to speak by not going to the polls.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

No, it's not. 
It's technically a Godwin, but the truth is that the anti-gun liberals are equally as dangerous as the NRA. They are people who know none of the actual facts on the weapons which they proscribe, and they have either no knowledge or no empathy for the honest person who has no personal connections with law enforcement and cannot afford round-the-clock protection as they do. Maybe it's because being political, and therefore chronic liars, they project their own dishonesty on everyone else. Honest or not, a non-violent person deserves every bit the right to defend himself against whatever may threaten them as any cop trained thug with a badge.

....I just like to shoot cans and paper targets. The occasional woodland creature. I'm not worried about defending myself, and wouldn't do so with a gun if I were.
