"State laws here make the Brady bill look like nothing," said Frank Caso, owner of Inc. in Caso's Jersey City, N.J. "It won't mean anything here." But the pending crime bill, which would ban certain assault weapons and ammunition, is increasing gun sales even in states with waiting periods. Don Davis, owner of several Indiana gun stores, said there hasn't been much increase in handgun sales because of the state's seven-da- y waiting period. But gun distributors have gone on a buying spree for AK-4and other assault weapons because they expect Congress to ban the weapons next year, Gun-A-Ra- 7s he said.
