We won WW II with the M1 Garand which is semi auto and is not classified as an assault rifle by today’s definition.

The majority concludes that the semiautomatic rifles banned by Maryland law are most useful in military service, even though they are not in regular use by any military force, including the United States Army, the decision said. Clearly they made this shit up as they went. What a freaking joke.

They won’t come and take them. They will make them too expensive to own or buy ammo for.
Just remember this:
The GOP and the NeverTrumpers were/are perfectly happy to have a ‘Rat President pack every Federal Court in America, including the Supreme Court, with Leftist, anti-2A judges.

And SCOTUS said that only weapons of war are covered by the 2nd Amendment.
SCOTUS decision in United States v. Miller
2. Not violative of the Second Amendment of the Federal Constitution. P. 178. The Court cannot take judicial notice that a shotgun having a barrel less than 18 inches long has today any reasonable relation to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, and therefore cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees to the citizen the right to keep and bear such a weapon.

"A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that assault rifles and other so-called weapons of war are not protected under the Second Amendment."
Weapons of war that are not protected under the Second Amendment:

I guess it depends on what your definition of the word militia is.
Are these judges on narcotics?

Well they are dickheads,a Scoped Remington 700 is far more effective than a full auto, to hit most things.
Certainly more cost effective and stealthy
Full auto is good for suppressive fire, someone has to hit them

You want to talk about absurdity? Do you know what reasoning was used to (basically) outlaw short barreled shotguns? Because they are not used by rhe military! How’s that for logic?

These semiautomatic rifles are widely used and owned by citizens and are intended for the civilian market.
