no ban?

Maybe I'm a little late coming to the party, but with the "assault" weapons ban expiration, it seems to me previously rare weapons should be able to imported again and prices on said weapons should go down now that the spigot has been turned back on so to speak. Why hasn't this happened? Has it and I just missed it? Where's the influx of weapons that was predicted?

Too bad, too. I wouldn't mind having a Steyr AUG, but I'm not paying 3 times more than the rifle is worth, only to have a non-serviceable firearm.

Those who would offer any interpretation that would relegate Amendment II to "relic" status of a bygone era are blatantly stating that the remainder of the Bill of Rights isn't worth a damn, either.

Such organizations as the GOA, CCRKBA, 2nd Amendment Foundation, JPFO, and another one,....oh yeah, I kinda like the NRA. One of the organizatins will probably keep you informed and you will help them by being a member.

Take it easy on the new guy. I have seen people that are members of pro-gun groups, that don't know what the ban (s) were really about. Even some that have been posting here for quite a while.
nemesisenforcer,
The ban that just expired was a "cosmetic" ban. Affecting mag capacity, pistol grips, flash hiders and such. It had NOTHING to do with actually banning any firearms. (Which, I think, is why they "allowed" it to expire)
The "89" bad, did actually stop the importation of certain "assault" weapons, and is still in full effect.
gunphreak,
I can still get parts for my Steyr, it just costs an arm, a leg, and some time with my first born daughter.
The gene pool needs chlorine.

I'll stick with my CAR-15. I can have one of them taken down to nuts and bolts in under 15 minutes, and I am fully able to fix it without losing any of those things. You understand, right??

I am a member of the NRA and have been for a number of years. Real life has intruded into my ability to get up to date info on what gun law (there are over 20,000 at last count correct me if I'm wrong) means what and which ones are expiring etc. Sorry to inconvenience you by making you condescend to my sub-par intellect. I thought a quick post here could save me a lot of research time and trouble by asking an informed community.

"Real Life"....I don't mean to castigate you here..have no desire to dissuade gun people that are trying.
But if you want a taste of what "Real Life" REALLY is....ignore the slimy politicians in their drive to disarm us.
You will find out...just as a couple hundred million souls did in the last century..murdered by their respective governments...after being disarmed.
Now..as to your question.I believe tht the gun public have been conditioned to accept hughly inflated prices...so why should the dealers lower their profits.? Better to sell one gun and make 200 bucks..then 10 guns at 20 bucks profit...or so they will tell you..
I, too expected to see some drop in prices..and magazines seem to have moderated a bit.
God,Guts,& GunsHave we lost all 3 ??

If you are an NRA member and have been for years, then I humbly apologize if I was rude to you.

Forget about it. Let's just get that '89 ban repealed so I can get a good imported semi-auto.
