I received a query about how federal regulations in CFR seem to apply even if the assault weapons ban sunsets next year. I am pretty sure that these regulations turn into pumpkins when the law sunsets. Right?
Yup. No statutory support for them.

Hello,
I just received my C&R license, and was in the process of reading all the laws, "rules," and "regulations" when I noticed that 18 USC Part I Chapter 44 Sec. 922 (v) is duplicated in 27 CFR Part 178.40. I'm not an attorney, but the way I interpret that is, when 18 USC Chapter 44 Sec. 922 (v) sunsets, 27 CFR Part 178.40 takes over; thus the ban never ends. Looks like Klinton and BigBrother.gov covered their asses pretty good.
Do you have any comments concerning the above? I would appreciate any input you may provide. Thank you.
