You mean the 'Law against scary looking weapons'?

Wouldn't it be interesting to see if the law had any positive effect before renewing it? What a concept!

Questions:

1. What percentage of crimes involve weapons banned by this law?

2. Did the percentage change after the law was enacted 10 years ago?

3. If there was a positive change, then what can be done to strengthen the law?

4. If there was a negative change or no change, then the law was ineffective, so why renew it?

BTW: Some claim that Bush is letting the law expire. Really? How is he doing that? Doesn't Congress pass the laws?
