A WARM, YES IT IS, GUUUUNNNNNNNNN...

The Onion tackles the lifting of the assault weapons ban through their man-on-the-street feature, and hilarity ensues:

"Hey, if I could turn the clock back to a time before titanium deer with full electronic countermeasures, I would. But face it, I need this Kalashnikov."
-Sam Li, electrician

Hehehe.

When you hear some gun nut enthusiast or right-wing TV talking heads saying things like "oh, this was a stupid ban to begin with", remember: Most of these people support eliminating waiting periods, drastically downscaling background checks, and making gun-show loopholes the rule instead of the exception. And of course, some of those people go to gun shows and buy books like this one, but that's a whole 'nuther can of white supremacist worms.
