I need sources for statistics and facts and stories about the AWB...
I'm writing a paper for school about how the AWB is useless and should go away. I need valid information sources and quotes from books with MLA style citations.

Impacts of the 1994 Assault
Weapons Ban: 1994â96
by Jeffrey A. Roth and Christopher S. Koper


March 1999

The legislation required the Attorney
General to deliver to Congress within
30 months an evaluation of the effects of
the ban. To meet this requirement, the
National Institute of Justice (NIJ) funded
research from October 1995 to December
1996 to evaluate the impact of Subtitle A.

This Research in Brief summarizes the
results of that evaluation.
 
there was supposed to be a 2002 update to the DOJ

but i never heard of its release

ya don't think the Clintons suppressed it, do ya?

Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994:

http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/laws/majorlaw/h3355_en.htm
SEC. 110104. STUDY BY ATTORNEY GENERAL.
(a) STUDY- The Attorney General shall investigate and study the
effect of this subtitle and the amendments made by this subtitle,
and in particular shall determine their impact, if any, on violent
and drug trafficking crime. The study shall be conducted over a
period of 18 months, commencing 12 months after the date of
enactment of this Act.
(b) REPORT- Not later than 30 months after the date of enactment
of this Act, the Attorney General shall prepare and submit to the
Congress a report setting forth in detail the findings and
determinations made in the study under subsection (a).

I don't know if you can use this, but the fact that two of the Reps who voted for the AWB were shortly sent to jail gravels me. I don't enjoy having to live under laws written by felons.

Who were the two? Any guesses?

One was Dan Rostenkowski, (D) Chicago, IL.
The other was a Rep named Reynolds, Mel, I think. Also a Chicago area Dem.

"Rosty" was busted for misappropriating government property.
Reynolds was busted for screwing minor females.

Both were pardoned by Bill (Perjurer In Chief) Clinton. Reynolds was hired (I kid you not) by the Reverend With The Mostest Due To Shakedowns Of Businesses, Jesse Jackson.

:barf:

I think I heard the arresting officers waited until Reynolds was done voting on the AWB before picking him up and taking him back to ILL.
 
Ah! You guys are awesome! This is more than enough to roll with!

Thank you very much. This class contains a lot of fence sitters... Maybe I'll be able to make a convert or two.
