First post-AWB post (or AW post of any kind, for that matter)
As of this evening, there still hasn't been any mass shootings in town, as predicted by the Bradys (check their website for Sarah's open letter to the president). No roaming gangs, no blood in the streets, no civil war, no mass destruction. In fact, the neighborhood has been rather quiet.
There were actually more shootings here (Albuquerque, NM) in the two weeks preceding the ban's expiration than in the last week.
There has also been a weird trend as far as manufacturers go. Bushmaster, Taurus, and several other companies have noted the change in law. Bushmaster is doing the smart thing, in my opinion, and deliberately targeting the market. And Armalite deserves mention because they were trying to sell before the ban sunset even took place.
Glock...well the Glock website never changes. Colt...same story. CZ, Ruger, etc. Rock River merely removed their weird pre-ban pop-up stuff. As well as most online retailers, companies seem to have barely noted the expiration. I have no idea when non-Clinton, non-LEO magazines will be available.
Conclusions of the day, outside of re-establishing that Kerry is out his mind for the 60th day in a row.
