Yes, you can go buy an Uzi. But as I said before, the AWB had absolutely no effect on automatic weapons. You could have bought an Uzi last year. You just have to go through the tedious process of getting a "Class 3" firearms license. Money, background checks, and periodic visits from the ATF. Good luck. |

The 10-year period is not an automatic feature on all US laws, but time periods are often tacked on. For example, the Bush tax cut plan has a 10-year period as well. If it's not renewed in 10 years, taxes go back to what they were on the day before the law was signed.
Often, a time frame is added to a law as a bargaining chip. Say two Democrats are right on the edge of voting for a Republican tax plan. The Republicans will add the 10-year provision as the final bargaining chip to get the Democrats to vote for it. Then the Republicans are happy because the bill gets passed, and the Democrats can tell their supporters that even if the law doesn't work out, it will go away eventually. |

Damn, $6,500 for an Uzi and an unfathanable sum of $15K for an M16? I'd be better off buying direct from Iraq or Afghanistan.
:confused:

You can just go to your local "seedy part of town" and pick one up for around $1500. :) |

Thanks. I'd like to get one of those Bushmasters the DC sniper used. Looked like it would take down a deer or a squirrel pretty easy.
Lol!!!!
