By Thursday, gun dealers in Houston and many other Texas cities had been cleaned out of their AR-15s and AK-47s. No more ‘assault rifles’ were available for sale.
The price of AR-15s and AK-47s doubled right after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. That’s right, the price doubled! And after President Obama promised that he would fight to renew the ban on military-style weapons, Texans rushed to gun shops and bought out all the existing stocks even though it now cost them twice as much.
You can bet that the next congress will renew the ban on ‘assault rifles’ and high-capacity magazines. However that will not stop mass shootings since there are already hundreds-of-thousands military-style weapons in the hands of gun owners. Unfortunately, some of those gun owners will turn psycho and end up going on a homicidal-suicidal shooting rampage with tragic results.
When the country experiences another mass shooting similar to the one at Newtown, Conn., look for attempts in Congress to pass a law calling for the confiscation of all military-style firearms.

The last ban produced Zero reduction in "gun deaths" for the ten years it ran. I am afraid the best we will be able to do with this one is hope a sunset clause is added, so that sanity can return after a period of time.
