Get your assault weapons UPS style

Thanks to the 2004 expiration of the assault weapons ban, you can now have overnight delivery.  According to ABC News, gun distributors are making a fortune:

Web sites now advertise overnight UPS delivery of the clips, whichcarry up to 40 rounds for both semi-automatic rifles, including 9mmpistols, and handguns.

"High capacity magazines read extreme firepower and gusto. Stock Up!" is the headline of one of many gun shop Web sites.

The Brady Campaign for Gun Violence went after Democrats for not following through on their promise to ban assault weapons:

“There is no ban on assault weapons. It is depressing that we could noteven take that action,” commented a spokesman for the Brady Campaign toPrevent Gun Violence, expressing the hope that Democrats who woncontrol of Congress last year would reintroduce the ban. “But not muchhas been seen of that.”

According to a Gallup Poll last fall, 56% of the American public supports stricter gun laws.
