Gun Guys, Assault Wepons Ban is back

Nice "Bushy" RCWells, I own an Armalite. Very accurate and reliable. The great thing about AR-15's are all the accessories you can buy (if you can afford it). Not to mention the reliability of parts and a proven design. They also remind me of my time in the Army.
Jscotty, I often read/hear the statistics of the crime rate in the D.C. area. I believe it is consistently near the top in murder rates. Friends have told me not to have a small knife, or even a round of ammo in my car if I travel near that area, or you risk being arrested.

wow RCwells, I am never f/n with you, that thing looks vicious hehe..

I just picked up a keltech 9mm to take with me to Texas when I move...

Is keltech a good brand? I got it from my cousin, who is a long time cop and he used it as his personal...It's really light weight, and has more kick than my noob ass to guns would have thought.

Yes, we used to be the murder capitol of the world but now I think we are somewhere around 13th or 14th place in the nation. That's still pretty high but murders went down tremendously over the last 6 to 7 years. Also, when the snipers were on the loose, all other crime came to a screeching halt. They were running around the area for about a month and a half and during that time, nobody was getting killed, nobody was getting robbed and there were hardly any other forms of non-violent crime going on.

As far as I know, there is no law against having a knife in DC. They just won't allow you to take into any federal gov't building. You could probably take it into a few of the D.C. government buildings but the federal buildings won't allow it.
