9. I think thats generally true, in one direction.

I think they could care less 'in general' that it isn't being enforced, as enforcement wasn't the primary goal, like with the AWB. Its a desensitization/normalization implement.

I'm sure, however, that there are those who are extremely disappointed that they're not going to see average gun owners getting cuffed and stuffed on the evening news for possessing a rifle of a 50-ish year old design based on 100 year old technology.

Imagine for a minute, the gleeful daily google dumps we'd see if it were being enforced, and how the 'just looking for input" thread would double in size in a month.
