They were never effectively banned.  That is the answer to your non-questions.

Wrong, congress banned the AK-47 from being sold in 1994. That doesn't mean you still couldn't find them. It just made it a little harder to look for one.

An assault weapon is not a fully automatic weapon, but is is considered automatic by some because of the fact that it will shoot as fast as you can pull the trigger.

Whether the AW ban was effective or not is moot.  You said assault weapons were never illegal.  My Mossberg 500 shotgun with pistol grip, folding stock, and 8 round mag capacity would have been illegal if purchased from 1994 to 2004 because it met the legislative description of an 'assault weapon'.  So your statement was incorrect. ::)

You could always NOT walk into a gun store and NOT buy a gun.

I have never feel more free to NOT buy something as I did in 1994.

Just before I shot my monitor, that video reminded me why I hated 80's music.
Plus it had the audacity to not even show an arcade in the background..

--- Quote ---Yes, perhaps for a few months, production of new 'assault weapons' was stopped until the manufacturers were able to get them modified enough, but that's it.

 :laugh2:
I wonder why the manufacturers bothered with the modifications given your first statement.
