wasn't the Clinton AWB the result of the California school play yard where some whackjob used an AK47?
The ball started rolling with the 1989 Stockton shooting, which is what I think you're recalling. That resulted in the formalization of the semiauto import ban during the Bush administration. It also inspired the Roberto-Roos act in California, which was a model for the AWB.
