Interesting that the Clinton Ban was enacted, well, during the Clinton administration.

"That depends on what the meaning of 'ban' is."

The old 'ban' meant: Banned from selling newly produced mags. Mags existing prior to start date are still legal to sell.

The new 'ban' could be as bad as: Banned from owning, no matter when manufactured.

That last one would be making federal felons out of a great many otherwise law-abiding Americans.
