My dad once told me that he never drank a beer, or had any desire to, until the U.S. government passed a law that said he couldn't. (Prohibition, the Volstead Act, the 18th Amendment... you know.)
When they said he couldn't - he started drinking.
Well, I never wanted an AR-15 until the government got ready to say I couldn't have one. Before the ban I rushed out and got one.
It looks like the ban is about to expire - I certainly hope so.
Guess I'll start shopping around for an AK-47...........

I thought that got modified in the committee that reconciled the House and Senate versions of the death penalty law.
