Elmer Smith:

And, with the repeal of the assault weapons ban last year, there is no limit on the amount of automatic weapons or ammunition a “known or suspected” terrorist can buy in America as long as he or she is not a felon, mental patient or illegal alien.

The ban was not repealed, it expired as part of a sunset provision. The ban did not cover automatic weapons nor did it cover ammunition. It covered semi-automatic weapons that had certain cosmetic features. In other words, it banned guns based on what they looked like.
