25. I agree the AW ban was stupid, but it had nothing to do with
...credit card guns, wallet guns, a new handgun caliber that will penetrate police body armor, etc....

Credit card guns and wallet guns are regulated under the National Firearms Act as "Any Other Weapon" or AOWs. I don't know what new handgun caliber you are referring to, but armor-piercing ammo for handguns is illegal for sale to civilians regardless of caliber. There are some very large, powerful handgun calibers around that have been for decades. The .500 Smith & Wesson is new, but it came out before the AW ban expired.

I marked the end of the federal AW ban by putting a USGI type upper receiver assembly on one of my AR-15 rifles. Now it has a bayonet lug, and a NATO type flash suppressor that could be removed easily if I ever decide to remove it.
