Well, a couple of reasons.
#1: Under the original AWB, "pre-ban" rifles were *always* worth significantly more than "post-ban".
#2: California already pretty much suffers from a AWB, and it sucks. Nobody wants to have to worry if they're breaking the law putting a part on their gun.
#3: Legislation *always* gets worse. Whil e the '94 AWB might have been a joke, politicians aren't stupid, and they do occasionally learn from their mistakes. (Though not well or often enough). For example, in the draft AWB legislation, the magazine size limit was 15 rounds. By the time it was passed, that had dropped to 10. Everyone would just as soon get their hands on stuff *NOW* so it will be grandfathered into any drafted legislation.
