Proper terminology, Gentlemen....

Especially here in the NFA forum!

I went online and purchased 3 new assault rifles just minutes after Obama gave his speech. It was the best $4000 I've spent in a long time.
I seriously doubt you were able to purchace 3 assault rifles for a mere $4000!
Assault rifles (using the correct definition) are machine guns under US law (because they are select fire). And finding any single civilian transferable machinegun for $4000 is a tall order these days.

The semi auto military style rifles demonized by the antis and banned/restricted by the 94 AWB are called assault weapons in the laws pertaining to them. The 94 Assault Weapons Ban did not ban or restrict a single assault rifle, it only applied to semi auto firearms.

What never heard of the black market.
Yes, we have all heard of it. But please be reminded that advocating any illegal activity is a violation of forum rules. Disagreeing with existing law and advocating change to existing law is allowed, even sometimes encouraged, but advocating or encouraging actions which break existing laws are not.
