The AWB sniping(ha, ironic word choice) is mainly just a cheap shot.
Like:
"Here we can see Arnold Schwarzenegger wielding an AK-47. This would be impossible under the asinine AWB of the 90s."
No... really? The AWB was asinine? But they banned the Tec-9 assault rifle! And the OA-96 heavy machine gun! However could it have been a bad thing?
Anyway, the forums are a place made for opinions. The guns pages of movies, not so much.
