Message: <blockquote data-quote="TerryMiller" data-source="post: 2111203" data-attributes="member: 7900">OK.  Now something in that article confused me.  Principally this:"Smith & Wesson has been around since the mid 1800s. The company is one of the standard issuers of firearms for the police and armed forces across the nation. Things were going well for the firm until 2000.That year, President Bill Clinton proposed legislation that enforced safety and design standards, such as locking devices and restrictions on magazine sizes, and limits on the sales and distribution of firearms. No marketing or advertising restrictions were put in place. Clinton had been working on gun safety for the later part of his term, so this was a huge milestone for his efforts. Current New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was the architect behind the agreement."Specifically, the story refers to the year 2000.  I thought that the Clinton-era AWB was enacted in 1994.  Am I missing a second law that was enacted in Clinton's last year in office?</blockquote>
