When Bill Clinton passed the AWB and limited magazine capacity to 10 rounds the gun manufacturers responded by shrinking down high-capacity pistols to the size of a 10 round mag (think 3-inch Para P-10 vs. 5-inch P-14). We had Bubba to thank for all the pistols that were so much easier to conceal. Osamabama may inadvertantly do us a similar favor. I think he'll go down in history as the greatest gun salesman of all time with Clinton as runner-up.
