The ten-year-old ban on assault weapons, AKA the Brady Bill, ends today because Congress couldn’t be bothered with renewing it—even though a majority of Americans and members of Congress are for continuing the ban on the sale of automatic weapons designed to kill people and, I guess, make collanders really, really fast.

Yes, you blood-thirsty citizens, you can now all run out and purchase Uzi’s and AK-47’s again just in time to protect yourself against the hoards of terrorists waiting in the wings. There’s a 7-week waiting period, unfortunately, but you can still sit in your Barcalounger and thrill to the thought of caressing the butt of your new rifle, capable of firing 600 rounds per minute. Because that’s why we live in America, so we can shoot the shit out of anything we damn well please.
