Anyhow, the NPR interviewer offered that the original AWB was "watered down" to the point of being ineffective.

I'll admit that I wasn't paying enough attention in 1994. Can someone more familiar with the legislative process at that point in time please explain to me how the original AWB was the product of "watering down" rather than just being poorly written?
Allow me to translate: "While we know that the original AWB didn't make any difference in crime, we're not going to admit that it didn't work because that's not politically expedient. Instead, we'll just claim that the original was watered down and that we didn't go far enough."
