Couldn't be done. If it were me I would let it sunset and be done with it. We tried the experiment for the 10 years written into the sunset clause and it didn't work. Why would I let it sunset and be done with it you ask? For many reasons, one being that it has proven ineffective to deterring crimes committed with this class of gun. 2) These types of firearms were hardly used in the first place. The most preferred firearm was, is and will always be the handgun. 3) It made felons out of people who just wanted their firearms to be cosmetically correct. 4) Most criminals can't afford the premium prices these guns already demand therefore the only ones who suffer are the law-abiding citizens. I can go on and on but the most important reason of all is it's in direct violation of the second amendment! It's that simple.
I have a question for you Carin. Why do you feel so compelled to take away the rights of the law-abiding American just because you personally dislike guns? None of these laws have ever been effective in stopping the criminal and never will be since they are only written to make criminals out of the law-abiding citizens of this nation. Why do you want to create a whole new class of criminals for no reason at all? It's all about control isn't it? You would rather have feel good laws in the book that do nothing but make you feel good rather than study the statistics and accept the facts. I know that I will never change your mind but that doesn't mean I won't continue to try.
