In America, They Banned the Manufacture of These Guns

  A few pages into the '90, we banned some guns. Yes, right here in America, land of the Second Amendment.
  And though the law was challenged on Constitutional grounds, those challenges were denied by the courts. Imagine, the Constitution says you shall not infringe on the right to keep and bear arms, and yet the courts allowed it, anyway.
  Might be because the law said nothing of owning and bearing guns. No, it sidestepped that by simply banning the manufacture of certain semiautomatic weapons. Go ahead and keep and bear all the guns you like, but we just won't allow any to be built in the United States.
   Understandably, the law did little to stop gun violence. If you can still own the gun, that is all that matters.
   We are coming up on the 25th anniversary of this law. The Federal Assault Weapons Ban was enacted Sept. 13, 1994, and expired Sept. 13, 2004.
