I guess they figure a national AWB will somehow magically make the millions of weapons sold since 2007 and the big push to buy them, vanish somehow? Maybe they figure if a law is simply passed, the millions who bought AR-s and AK-s by the the case over the last few years will see the wisdom of their logic and willingly hand them over or something?

You're absolutely right that laws in the Northeast are already in excess of what they propose for the nation and it did absolutely nothing to save anyone. Oh, but it's the way some see these things. If what they are doing isn't working it cannot possibly be because the idea is faulty. Never... It's not easy being 100% right all the time, but they have it down well it seems. No, the problem must be that they simply haven't done enough OF it.

So, in this case? Enough laws to fill multiple books on guns in those states aren't enough. We must pass even MORE.....I guess they are figuring criminals will care when the sheer number of laws overrides what any one of them say, since they ignore them now anyway.

That's 1/5th too much.

I lived in one of these AWB states that a took a giant dump on my head when it enacted it's own AWB at the Clinton AWB expiration and I promptly pulled my roots up, left my job and moved myself and my family to a non-AWB state.

There was good momentum going toward liberty in recent months with the prohibition ending laws in Colorado and Montana and Illinois being forced to accept its residents had a right to bear arms.

I dont want to see a backslide into more statist nonsensical tyranny for tyrannys sake.

Banning 'stuff' never makes sense. Government has been banning 'stuff' of some kind or another across the world to solve one issue or another since the beginning of time. It's a good method used to avoid actually dealing with a difficult problem.
