assault weapons ban

If the assault weapons ban is not re-newed next year, will that mean that the value of current "pre-ban" firearms will drop or will they retain their value as collectors items and become known as "original pre-ban" weapons (or something)? Do you think that companies will start weapons with bayonet lugs and folding stocks etc again? What about hi-cap mags again? I'm going to hold off on buying any more "pre-ban" weapons until I see how it works out next year. I'd hate to be the guy who bought a $5,000 "pre-ban" rifle only to see a year later that the price is $500... or a 100 round drum for my Thompson for $1,000 only to be able to find it for today's price of a ten rounder! Thanks for your time! - Toe

Yes, those weapons were banned, but they have returned in a modified form to comply with the loopholes in the ban. They have no bayonet lug or flash suppressor. The magazines are limited to ten rounds and the pistol grips are changed on some.
This particular ban was directed toward the semi-auto "assault" weapons.
Happy New Year.

One loophole is to buy an 80% AR15 reciever finish into a 100% register it and convert into a full auto.
