When the ban sunsets, what is the earliest they can enact a new ban the next year.

Okay Kerry wins. Bush loses and does not enact a new AWB.

So when in 2005 could they first pass a new law?

How much of a window would we have?

Thanks

i would guess the fastest way would be for an executive order done the day kerry takes office. january 21st 2005(?) i don't know how long it would take it to get through congress

It can't be done via Executive Order; it doesn't work that way. Kerry could become POTUS tomorrow and there is nothing he could do with regards to the AWB as long as there's a majority of RKBA Congress critters (both Republican and Democrat), in the Senate and House.

Executive orders are guidelines, instructions and interpretations on how existing law is to be enforced by the agencies that enforce them.

I  agree, the only real way to stop it will be to vote in a good House and Senate so NO bill will ever get passed.

not Bush's, unless you mean the 1989 import thing, but the AWB was Clinton

The 89 Import Ban was the original true assault weapon ban. Clinton just swept up what few domestic ones were left.
