Why the AWB failed and a new one would too...

Makes good points.

Has a good rebuttal (that I just used) for when someone says "we register cars and require drivers licenses and insurance"; and when/how has doing that reduced the incidence of drunk/distracted driving deaths?

Interesting point inside considering C&R for the AR15 - in a few years it will be on the C&R list, at least those manufactured 50 years ago will?

IIRC, modern replicas of C&R's are still considered C&R's

Sadly, no. From the ATF (emphasis added):

To be recognized as C&R items, 478.11 specifies that firearms must fall within one of the following categories:

Firearms which were manufactured at least 50 years prior to the current date, but not including replicas of such firearms;

Firearms which are certified by the curator of a municipal, State, or Federal museum which exhibits firearms to be curios or relics of museum interest; and

Any other firearms which derive a substantial part of their monetary value from the fact that they are novel, rare, bizarre, or because of their association with some historical figure, period, or event.

I truly wish it were so but sadly I know better. CountryGent has it right.

Story doesn't get into that whole bullet button/pinned magazine thing with which some states (sadly) have falsely enacted...

The article didn't mention massive non-compliance, nor comparing how "prohibition" worked out... all it'll do is create a black market for hard-core gun runners.

There are many different approaches to the different aspects of any gun ban.
