The 2nd Amendment says that people have a right to own guns.
The 9th Amendment says that if there is any part of the Constitution that is fuzzy, then the issue is settled in favor of the people.
Sorry you hate that - but it's the law and have a nice day. :)
Ignorance never stopped their pontificating.
The good mayor and his state rep buddy from Cambridge have been on the radio daily since the shooting talking about these evil high power killing machines. What a load of crap. On WRKO yesterday AM a fair number of callers took the rep to task for having not a clue of what an AR-15 really is.
I suppose an "assault weapon" would be anything these gun grabbers decide it should be.
Cordially,
The power to decide what guns we get to own does not belong in politician hands.
Gun Control. It isn't about guns. It's about control.
The MSM is again intentionally trying to confuse semi auto with machine gun.
Is the Class A license the same license that allows the purchase of full auto machine guns?
Arbitrary classification. Describes a certain subset of features that not only can be used to scare the sheep, but to demonize an entire class of sporting arms. These features have no bearing on the lethality of the weapon.
"Any law enforcement officer, found in posession of a weapon not allowed the general public, shall be imprisoned for ten years."
IMHO, assault is an ACTION.....a weapon is a DEVICE.
This crap won't stop until those citizens take the rep to the town square for a "liberal" application of tar and feathers.
Is there another type of weapon than an 'assault' weapon?
Is there another purpos for weapons than 'assault'?
What a load of tripe!!!
That didn't stop any of the LEO's *from all across the nation* illegally seizing legally owned firearms from people in New Orleans, did it? The lawmakers and the law enforcers don't care a da*n about the Constitution.
"I propose a law -
"Any law enforcement officer, found in posession of a weapon not allowed the general public, shall be imprisoned for ten years."
"Any Government Employee of The United States, State, or Local Governments, found in possession of a weapon not allowed the general public, shall be imprisoned for the rest of his or her natural life."
I like mine better, but yours is a good start.
I just responded on another thread with a more direct reference about this... banning of the AR-15 specifically because the bad guy had one, and the cops didn't. But, this is reading like some sort of idiotic Science Fiction Book, where "military are trained" but then they come back to civilization, and society seeks to imprison them all because they are "trained killers and society is too meek to deal with them". Lemme see.. done to death on Star Trek (the original series) and if I recall correctly it was also reprised on Star Trek the Next Generation... and at least a couple of stupid movies (Sly Stallion vs. Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man). Oh well, anyway, if things keep going this way... then SF will, indeed, come true
