It is not vague, it is extremely specific, a right to bear arms is just that "a right to bear arms" and as long as you have an arm to bear that specific statement has been met in full.
ArmaLite was granted a patent for the AR-15 because it could chamber shells at a 900 round a minute rate far superior to anything on the market at that time.
It is the speed that it reloads that makes the difference semi-automatic hunting rifles can't come close to chambering shells at 900 rate per minute.
To a mass murderer speed makes all the difference in getting record body counts.
The ones that we want to ban are the assault weapons that are designed to fire at a 900 round a minute rate. Those that were designed to slaughter huge numbers of people.
The vast majority of high body count mass murders are done with assault weapons.
We already know that the AR-15 can be converted to full-automatic.
It is not vague it is very specific and as long as you have an arm available it has been met fully and completely.
It is the assault weapons in general that need banned not just a couple of specific models.
It isn't scary looking that is the problem,
it is one high body count mass murder after another mass murder done with assault weapons that scares people any time their children go to school, they go to a restaurant, or go to a theater. That what scares people not the looks of assault weapons.
ID is listed as educational programing the reason there isn't a Husbands with knives is that it is not the preferred weapon of men.
I don't want to see the NRA officers gone I want to see them in prison where they belong for laundering Russian money into Trump's campaign in order to get a foot hold in Russia.
There are mass shooters in the NRA.
Why else would they be a gun nut?
The AR-15 is the same assault weapon with the same capability.
You can't have a range from 500,000 to 2.5 million.
If you are counting actual instances it should be a cold hard figure.
Your figure is someone at the NRA making a guesstimate.
The people that need an AR-15 to defend their home are usually drug dealers or other criminals.
As long as you have an arm to bear your constitutional rights have been met.
As long as you have an arm to bear there is no infringement.
Bureaucrats don’t make laws politicians make laws and they are elected by the people.
It is not vague, it is extremely specific, a right to bear arms is just that “a right to bear arms” and as long as you have an arm to bear that specific statement has been met in full. The founding fathers have never been accused of being vague.
ArmaLife was granted a patent for the AR-15 because it could chamber shells at a 900 round a minute rate far superior to anything on the market at that time.
The ones that we want to ban are the assault weapons that are designed to fire at a 900 round a minute rate. Those that were designed to slaughter huge numbers of people.
Those that were designed to slaughter huge numbers of people.
That is exactly what the video was about, hiding an assault weapon in a block of wood.
I looked at an AR-15 on line and it would take a huge block of wood to fit an AR-15 in.
The assault weapon he used for the demo must have been a micro mini assault weapon.
Those shooting with hand guns are gang member, husband shooting wives, or wives shooting husbands, parents shooting teenagers because they were mistaken for a prowler coming in late.
The rifle category of firearms is a broad one comprised of bolt, pump, and lever-action firearms in addition to semi-automatic firearms like AR-15s, suggesting semi-automatic rifles comprise an even smaller number than the 297 total murders by rifle in 2018.
Handguns were the primary firearm used in murders, having been used in 6,603 of the firearm-related murders, while shotguns were used in 235 murders, “other guns” were used in 167 and unspecified types of firearms accounted for the 2,963 remaining firearms-related murders.
The ratio of knife-to-rifle related deaths also grew from the previous year’s statistic of more than four knife murders for every one murder with a rifle.
Blunt objects were also used more than rifles, accounting for 443 deaths. Murderers even used their hands and feet more often than rifles, accounting for 672 murder victims in 2018.
Nothing is going to protect you from your gun nut neighbors and relatives other than if you make sure you don’t socialize with the gun nut crowd.
We already know that the AR-15 can be converted to full-automatic.
One mass murder worked as a gun smith in a machine shop.
We know for a fact that the Pulse night club shooter assault weapon chambered at a 130 round a minute rate.
If the gun smith had converted an AR-15 it would fire at a 900 round a minute rate.
It was a school mass murderer who did not kill near as many people because he could not find his dad’s AR-15.
I suspect that was in the book “Mass Killers.” My memory is not nearly as good as it used to be. I flunked that part of my physical.
It is not vague it is very specific and as long as you have an arm available it has been met fully and completely.
It is the assault weapons in general that need banned not just a couple of specific models.
It isn’t scary looking that is the problem, it is one high body count mass murder after another mass murder done with assault weapons that scares people any time their children go to school, they go to a restaurant, or go to a theater. That what scares people not the looks of assault weapons.
Most mass murderers kill themselves but some just give up when they see the police.
Wikipedia has article that list 134 pages of murderers who committed suicide. “Category: Murders who committed suicide” They may not all be mass murderers but, in the thousands listed you can be sure there are at least 30 mass murderers.
I just reported the facts as they took place, they formed a circular firing squad and started firing.
There is no question that police officer was killed by another police office bullet. There is only one way that can happen.
The city had just bought one of those high-tech simulators before I retired and the state police also had one but a simulation will always be just a simulation real life has far more variables. One being simulators don’t shoot real bullets. They make nice video games.
In a circular firing squad, the bullets tell the facts.
Everybody is aware of gravity and how it effects bullets when fired over a long distance. Snipers allow for wind speed as well as gravity.
ID is listed as educational programing the reason there isn’t a Husbands with knives is that it is not the preferred weapon of men.
Investigation Discovery (often abbreviated ID) is an American pay television network owned by Discovery, Inc. that features documentary-style programming dealing with true crime subjects, mostly those of a violent nature (primarily homicides and attempted homicides, but also kidnappings, stalkings, sexual assaults, domestic violence, disappearances, and arsons). As of February 2015, approximately 86,062,000 American households (73.9% of households with television) receive Investigation Discovery.[1]
We know that most mass murderers are gun nuts and most gun nuts are NRA members it is only common sense that the two groups intersect. It is extremely hard to find something that is deliberately kept secret. As long as the NRA refuse to publish their membership list anything is pure speculation.
When is the last time you saw the media list a mass murderer as having a library card or being a member of any other organization?
I would not be surprised to find that Adam Lanza was an NRA member he and his mother spent a good deal of time at the gun range shooting.
The idea of supplying a free NRA membership is to pump more money into the NRA from gun manufactures
Guns are dangerous and anyone that owns is subject to impulsively kill someone when angry or commit suicide.
I don’t want to see the NRA officers gone I want to see them in prison where they belong for laundering Russian money into Trump’s campaign in order to get a foot hold in Russia.
There are mass shooters in the NRA. Why else would they be a gun nut?
The AR-15 is the same assault weapon with the same capability.
You can’t have a range from 500,000 to 2.5 million. If you are counting actual instances it should be a cold hard figure. The figure for murders is not 500,000 to 2.5 million it is a specific number. Your figure is someone at the NRA making a guesstimate. The people that need an AR-15 to defend their home are usually drug dealers or other criminals.
There is no such preexisting right to military hardware.
The founding fathers were only concerned with the present when the Constitution was written.
By specifying only "a right to bear arms" this limited the amount of dead hand control in the future.
There is no similarity between the America of 200 years ago and the America of today. America no longer depends on a citizen militia. We have a full-time professional military to protect the country. We have fought wars on a scale far bigger than ever imagined by the founding fathers and all done with professional soldiers.
Those five little words deliberately did not specify what arms would be allowed. It only specified that there would be an arm to bear.
There are many court decisions that read those five words and made them into a novel the size of "War and Peace." But little by little the absolute right to any weapon of war is no longer being upheld as the slaughter of thousands continues.
The courts have ruled that laws can be passed to prohibit "dangerous and deadly weapons."
Militia no longer exist except as social organizations so all they require are guns that fire blanks
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We professional army that cost 10 times more than any military in the world. A militia could not stop bombers and tanks it would be totally useless.
The difference between a full-automatic and a semi-automatic is only about 1% of gun and the semis can be converted to full automatics. It is the same gun.
Just because an assault weapon does not have the automatic fire option does not mean it is not an assault weapon.
You are telling me those five words "a right to bear arms" actually mean that second amendment forbid restrictions on guns that cannot be justified serving a compelling government interest.
I am sorry but there is no possible way that those words remotely mean anything close.
Those would be the words of a very activist judge who took an inch of Constitution and turned into a mile of BS for the NRA.
The key court ruling now is that dangerous and deadly weapons may be controlled.
The AR-15 was designed and marketed as an assault weapon.
That why mass murderers want assault weapons.
The firing rate of a semi-automatic AR-15 is limited only by the speed of trigger finger which with practice could reach as high as 300 rounds per minute.
Most of the high body count mass murderers are done with assault weapons,
Assault weapons were banned in America between 1994 and 2004.
Think about it those semi-automatic assault weapons are the reason that we hold active shooter drills elementary schools across America.
The majority of high body count mass murders would not be possible without assault weapons.
The second amendments only gives you "a right to bear arms" not to a specific type of arms.
If the founding fathers gave you a right to bear a baseball bat it does not mean they gave up the right to specify that the bat could only be three-foot long and weigh no more than LB. Your right to bear a bat has not been infringed.
It is the assault weapons used in El Paso, Las Vegas, and the Pulse Night Club to name a few that are leading to more and higher body count mass murders. Those full-automatics are already effectively banned you can't go to the corner gun store after you get fired and buy one.
Ask the families of the thousands of victims of mass murderers and every school child in America who now goes to school wondering whether a gun nut is going to use them for target practice why assault weapons banned?
I don't know who made up what you think of as definition of assault weapons but I suspect the gun manufactures made it up only after they had marketed assault weapons as assault weapons for 50 years.
They may killed with knives in history but once they got their hands-on assault weapons it much easier to kill with assault weapons. When you kill with a knife your hand is likely to slide over the blade and cut your hand open you don't have that problem with assault weapons.
Guns were designed to kill people if you own a gun you hope that one day you can kill a burglar, rapist or someone you are pissed at.
The governments and the courts defined what an assault weapon is with the 1994 assault weapon ban.
If the incidents of people protect themselves with a gun were taken from actual reports there would be a real number. If it were a guesstimate you would expect that type of range because they have no clue.
It is a guesstimate there is a difference.
There is nothing in the statemen "a right to bear arms" that forbids anything.
It is a positive statement and does not forbid the government from doing anything.
It simply says that you have a right to bear an arm.
It is a positive statement and forbids nothing.
Arm is one of the most used words in the English language and no one has any doubt what the terms means. The term specifies that people will have access to an arm but leaves it up to the government to decide which arms will be available to bear. There are wanabees and wanasee you are the latter you imagine what you want to see those 5 little words mean.
The new type of loading mechanism is what allowed the AR-15 to chamber shells at a 900 round per minute rate and made it the best choice for mass murder.
That makes absolutely no sense. Police shoot to kill even if you are jay walking. And a wounded enemy solider with an assault weapon is going to kill everyone in sight as long as he can pull the trigger. The military might opt for wounding but mass murderers shoot to kill judging from the body counts.
The ranch rifle is not the preferred assault weapon for mass murderers and no doubt because it can’t fire nearly as many rounds per minute.
Only one high body count mass murderer, those who kill 25 or more killed, used a hand gun and he chained the doors so his victims could not escape.
Your lying statstic lists 297 people killed with guns when the actual number of people killed in 2017 was 39,717 when the number of people killed with knives is only a tiny fraction of that figure. The people killed with knives and other sharp objects, like screw drivers and shards of glass was only 1,515. That means actually only less than 4% of murders are with knives. That means there are 25 times more deaths caused by guns than knives and other sharp objects. Your figure used only those killed with rifles and hand guns are used by most professionals murderers because they can easily be concealed. Just one mass murder accounted for 59 deaths and that one incident accounted for a full 20% of those deaths. If all deaths by assault weapons were listed it would amount to over 50% of the gun deaths.
If all deaths by assault weapons were listed it would amount to over 50% of the gun deaths.
Much like a fan of a rock band is short for fanatic, gun nut denotes someone with an unhealthy attraction to guns.
It isn’t easy to assemble an arsenal either but as the incident with a mass murder who worked as a gun smith demonstrates it would be very easy for some one with the right skills to convert an AR-15 to full-automatic.
When I searched the internet for the record rate a semi-automatic assault could be fired what was returned was an article that listed the actual rate the Pulse Night Club shooter was recorded at. I gave you the article in one of my posts. It also dealt with how slow a regular semi-automatic rifle fired.
Full-automatic assault weapons have been used in mass murders.
That is exactly how the constitution works, the words have meaning but not beyond the actual words.
Each mass murder makes the case for banning dangerous and deadly assault weapons
and the Supreme court has already ruled that dangerous and deadly weapons can be regulated.
Fox News, which makes up most of contents.
You can always add the selective fire switch because it is the same gun.
There is a reason no one talks about it a statistic like that is useless.
The only right you have to bear arms is derived from the second amendment
and it deliberately did not specify exactly what weapons in order to limit dead hand control. This allows the control of guns but keeps them from being totally eliminated.
You are of course talking about the highest freedom which is the freedom to live
the freedom to live which guns take away.
The second amendment does not forbid the government from doing anything
it is a positive statement that gives you a "right to bear arms."
The second amendment does not forbid the government from doing anything.
For the second amendment to forbid anything it would have to list what is forbidden it doesn't.
The second amendment does not specify the particular type of guns that people had a "right to bear."
There is no need for activist judges for gun control all they need do is read the second amendment as it is written and not imagine what is not there.
If some weapons such as full-automatic assault weapons can be controlled than other weapons can be controlled also.
There are not going to be bombers, there are going to be missiles coming in and no militia is going to stop them.
The automatic and semi-automatic assault weapons are the same weapons with only an option making the difference.
I don't know where you got that definition but even the manufacturers sold them as assault weapons.
Now suddenly after it looks like semi-automatic assault weapons are going to be banned again now an assault weapon are no longer assault weapons. The courts will have no trouble deciding that semi-automatic assault weapons are assault weapons under the law.
Politicians make the laws and bureaucrats may write regulation but none of those regulations can be against the law and the politicians can write the law to take any discretion away from the bureaucrats.
Arm is one of the most used words in the English language and no one has any doubt what the terms means. The term specifies that people will have access to an arm but leaves it up to the government to decide which arms will be available to bear.
There are wanabees and wanasee you are the latter you imagine what you want to see those 5 little words mean.
The new type of loading mechanism is what allowed the AR-15 to chamber shells at a 900 round per minute rate and made it the best choice for mass murder.
All you have to do is look for the spec sheet for the AR-15 they even point out the barrel will melt down after firing so many rounds.
That makes absolutely no sense.
Police shoot to kill even if you are jay walking.
And a wounded enemy solider with an assault weapon is going to kill everyone in sight as long as he can pull the trigger. The military might opt for wounding but mass murderers shoot to kill judging from the body counts.
They didn’t disprove anything I can put anything in box and say see there is no reason to be afraid of a box.
We are talking about putting the whole assault weapon in a block of wood not just a few selected parts.
The ranch rifle is not the preferred assault weapon for mass murderers and no doubt because it can’t fire nearly as many rounds per minute.
Only one high body count mass murderer, those who kill 25 or more killed, used a hand gun and he chained the doors so his victims could not escape.

It isn’t easy to assemble an arsenal either but as the incident with a mass murder who worked as a gun smith demonstrates it would be very easy for some one with the right skills to convert an AR-15 to full-automatic.
The mass murderer who worked as a gun smith was taken out of the book “Mass Killers” the book gives detailed backgrounds on a hundred or so mass murderers.
When I searched the internet for the record rate a semi-automatic assault could be fired what was returned was an article that listed the actual rate the Pulse Night Club shooter was recorded at. I gave you the article in one of my posts. It also dealt with how slow a regular semi-automatic rifle fired.
Full-automatic assault weapons have been used in mass murders.
The only reason full-automatics are not used by mass murderers is that they cannot buy them at the corner gun store.
If you want to learn anything you have to read something that is not on a computer monitor.
How do you expect me to show something out of a book over the internet? I can tell you where the proof is but I can’t make you read it.
That is exactly how the constitution works, the words have meaning but not beyond the actual words.
Each mass murder makes the case for banning dangerous and deadly assault weapons and the Supreme court has already ruled that dangerous and deadly weapons can be regulated.
We already have people that have been victims of two different and deadly mass murders. When you have people that have been victims of two mass murder the odds are going up.
Being killed by the police indicates it was a suicide mission, just because some mass murderers chicken out, they fully expected to killed. You can’t go in and start killing people and not expect to be killed. Mass Murderers are not afraid of guns they love guns.
Eighty-four pages of murderers who committed suicide should tell you murderers aren’t afraid to die.
The circular firing squad involved the Charleston Police Department several years ago.
I had a minor in mathematics I understand that there are forces that could affect bullets but they don’t turn and go backwards.
ID is not Fox News, which makes up most of contents.
The only reason you can say that is because the NRA refuses to publish its membership list.
Actually, that is extremely good reasoning. A subset of a group is likely to have the same traits as the overall group.
They have no access and no way to determine NRA membership unless the NRA makes the list public.
That looks like Lanza was working with the NRA or he would not have a certificate from the NRA.
The only thing the gun manufactures (NRA) want is to sell more death.
Forty-thousand gun deaths a year is a reality not a fantasy.
Did you not see all of the pictures of the Russian Spy at all the NRA events?
You can continue to insist that people with guns don’t murder people but 40,000 gun deaths says otherwise.
You can always add the selective fire switch because it is the same gun.
There is a reason no one talks about it a statistic like that is useless.
You will have an arm to bear but the people living today will decide the limits not people dead for over two centuries. Statistic now show Americans are divesting themselves of guns now 78% of Americans no longer own a gun.
But the fundamental right is to bear an arm not an ak-47.
The right is always complaining about judges who do not stick word for word to the Constitution but when it comes to guns the right absolutely loves activist judges. There is no area of constitution that has been modified so radically as those five little words.
Just ask a school child about their active shooter drills to avoid gun nuts armed with assault weapons if you want a compelling reason. The most dangerous things a child faces now is being shot by a gun nut with an assault weapon.
Not only was the AR-15 marketed as an assault weapon almost every piece of it is the exact same thing as the automatic assault weapon version. Your definition is not the legal definition and it never will be.
The high body count mass murderers all want assault weapons because they are designed to kill lots of people quickly. Your definition of assault weapons is not a legal definition nor is it recognized by courts of law.
A 300 round per minute rate is attainable and maybe the next mass murderer will break that record.
As for aiming one mass murderer demonstrated the “typical assault weapon stance” demonstrating how he was going to massacre school children.
You should try telling a mass murderer that he didn’t purchase an assault weapon. Then he would be wasting that “typical assault weapon stance.”
Assault weapons were banned and a legal description of assault weapon was arrived at.
Keep trying to convince people that identical assault weapons are not assault weapons.
The second amendment had nothing to say about a compelling government interest.
The second amendment gives you “a right to bear arms” it in no way restrict the government or deprives the government of any of its powers. What the assault weapons do on a regular bases is deprive their victims of all of their rights.
You are reading things that are not there do you see ghost words? That right exist in this country only from the second amendment.
By the legal definition the massacre at El Paso, Dayton, Las Vegas, and the Pulse night club were done with assault weapons.
And soon as the gun manufacture’s liability is repealed, we will sue them out of business for flooding the streets with assault weapons.
It looks like the current batch of assault weapons were modeled after StG 44. It has a selective fire switch that means when it is firing in semi-automatic form it is still an assault weapon.
But if you’re killing with guns you don’t need a hand guard.
I spent 41 years and 7 months working for government so I got an insider view of how laws are written and implemented. Bureaucrats have to work within the parameters of the law.
If the law says you cannot store dangerous and deadly chemicals within 500 feet of a public waterway a bureaucrat cannot allow a coal company to store those dangerous chemicals within 20 feet of a public waterway. [/quote
That has really never been a problem with bureaucrats, the problem is them increasing regulations beyond what the law says. A better example would be what is taking place here in CO. Federal law's might say no drilling within 100 ft of a house, State law says no drilling within 500 feet of a home, and local unelected bureaucrats would try and push local regulations saying 2500 feet from a house. Thankfully the state court shutdown the unelected and said they had to abide by the state law. That's the problem with bureaucrats, they take power they don't have "for the good of the people". I have a real problem with the "I know what's better for you" mentality.
[quote]Gun law has been influenced by activist judges.
The founding fathers were very specific in that you have “a right to bear arms” not that you had a right “to bear an apple.” The intent of the founding fathers was clear they granted “aright to bear arms” but reserved the right of government to specify by law which arms would be legal to bear.
It had everything to do with how fast the AR-15 would chamber shells.
Aluminum has been around for many years and Just changing the material composition to aluminum would not be grounds for a patent.
Have Colt give you a specification sheet for the AR-15.
The M-16 is just another version of the AR-15 that is tweaked so you don’t have to pull the trigger as fast.
The police shoot to kill for one reason, as long as the criminal is alive, he is still capable of killing another police officer.
War is not like touch football where you are down after you are touched. A wounded animal is far more dangerous than one that is not wounded, a wounded soldier would be just as dangerous. If the point of war is just to wound why not use BB guns and when wounded that soldier would be out of the game.
A wolf in sheep’s clothing no doubt. Just changing the stock doesn’t change how deadly the AR-15 is.
The AR-15 would not fit into the standard stock of a 22 rifle for instance.
By Ruger Ranch rifle you mean mini 14. Say just like a Mini Cooper or a Cadillac Escalade they are both cars but there is a huge difference.
I read that lie sheet that listed a tiny fraction of the murders in America. I am surprised that they did not break it down by brand name. They could get even smaller numbers then.
The problem is high body count mass murders which are almost all done with assault weapons.
People get angry and if a gun is in easy reach someone is likely to die. Get cut off in traffic get your gun out of the glove box and teach them a lesson. The neighbor’s kids are making to much noise? No problem just get gun.
It is illegal to massacre 20 first graders but it doesn’t stop mass murderers so it would not stop them from converting their assault weapons to full-automatic.
You will have to read the book for proof.
It is hard to believe that no one has managed to get full-automatic weapons out of the military.
I can’t read a book to you over the internet.
My memory is good as to the incident but not good as to page number.
That is how the Constitution works. If I rent you house you can’t say that two cars came with the house because after all people need cars today. The lease is confined to the rental property and you can’t add something that is not in the agreement. That is the way all contracts work and the second amendment is just a contract.
Seventy-eight present of Americans no longer own a gun and that number was far lower in 1994 when assault weapons were banned. The Supreme has already ruled dangerous and deadly weapons can be banned.
Some people have already ben victims of two mass murders in less than a year. Keep telling yourself it can’t happen to you or your family.
A 134 pages of murderers who committed suicide should tell you murderers have no fear of dying.
That was the facts, police officer dead from friendly fire incident.
Circular firing squad is not meant to insult just report the facts.
Maye instead of a simulator they could use real people with paint ball guns. That would make it more real.
The programing on ID is listed as educational. It is fact based not fictional.
Generally, police firing at a suspect don’t bother to do the math to compensate for wind speed and other variables.
It is not circular logic. What is the first thing you need to commit a gun crime? Who has the guns? That is simple logic. Those without guns don’t commit crimes. NRA members have guns.
That is the key, how do they find out if the NRA keeps their membership secret.
Timothy McVeigh was an NRA member who killed a 168 people far more than any other mass murderer. There is one of your NRA mass murderers.
Timothy McVeigh is a good example of people educated by the NRA.
There non violent that is why they keep a gun to blow someone away.
The Russian spy that attended the NRA meetings has been arrested and her handler should be next.
The biggest mass murderer in history was an NRA member.
You must have taken the "New English" sort of like the "New Math" but most judges took the standard English" and those five little words are plain and simple. You will have an arm to bear but the people living today will decide the limits not people dead for over two centuries.
But the fundamental right is to bear an arm not an ak-47.
The right is always complaining about judges who do not stick word for word to the Constitution but when it comes to guns the right absolutely loves activist judges.

As for aiming one mass murderer demonstrated the "typical assault weapon stance" demonstrating how he was going to massacre school children.
Then he went to a school and massacred the children. There was one thing he wasn't doing and that was aiming he just sprayed bullets from side to side.
He was using his assault weapon exactly how it was designed to be used.
You should try telling a mass murderer that he didn't purchase an assault weapon.
Then he would be wasting that "typical assault weapon stance."
Assault weapons were banned
and a legal description of assault weapon was arrived at.
You can make up any definition you like
but it will never be a legal definition of assault weapons.
Keep trying to convince people that identical assault weapons are not assault weapons.

By the legal definition the massacre at El Paso, Dayton, Las Vegas, and the Pulse night club were done with assault weapons.
And soon as the gun manufacture's liability is repealed, we will sue them out of business for flooding the streets with assault weapons.
You can make your own definitions if you want but the courts know an assault weapon when they see it. They don't need to fire it to know it is an assault weapon.
You really don't have any idea how many school massacres have taken place do you?
It is not a phobia when you have three active shooter drills a month.
It looks like the current batch of assault weapons were modeled after StG 44. It has a selective fire switch that means when it is firing in semi-automatic form it is still an assault weapon.
You might not like the assault weapon law but it defined assault weapons.
That guesstimate was an assumption and we both know what assumptions do.
If there is nothing more accurate available there is no point in bringing it up.
You are seeing ghost words again. Contracts are written for a reason. The words govern, not what you thought should be in the contract.
The only right you have is "the right to bear an arm" nothing more.
It does not bring the government into it.
It only preserves your right to bear an arm.
For the government to be forbidden from any thing the actual writing has to be there and it is not.

A wounded animal is far more dangerous than one that is not wounded, a wounded soldier would be just as dangerous. If the point of war is just to wound why not use BB guns and when wounded that soldier would be out of the game.
A wolf in sheep's clothing no doubt. Just changing the stock doesn't change how deadly the AR-15 is.
By Ruger Ranch rifle you mean mini 14. Say just like a Mini Cooper or a Cadillac Escalade they are both cars but there is a huge difference.
I read that lie sheet that listed a tiny fraction of the murders in America. I am surprised that they did not break it down by brand name. They could get even smaller numbers then.
The problem is high body count mass murders which are almost all done with assault weapons.
People get angry and if a gun is in easy reach someone is likely to die. Get cut off in traffic get your gun out of the glove box and teach them a lesson. The neighbor's kids are making to much noise? No problem just get gun.
It is illegal to massacre 20 first graders but it doesn't stop mass murderers so it would not stop them from converting their assault weapons to full-automatic.
That is how the Constitution works. If I rent you house you can't say that two cars came with the house because after all people need cars today. The lease is confined to the rental property and you can't add something that is not in the agreement. That is the way all contracts work and the second amendment is just a contract.
Seventy-eight present of Americans no longer own a gun and that number was far lower in 1994 when assault weapons were banned.
The Supreme has already ruled dangerous and deadly weapons can be banned.
It is not circular logic. What is the first thing you need to commit a gun crime? Who has the guns? That is simple logic. Those without guns don't commit crimes. NRA members have guns.
That is the only difference is that option.
The reason no one on the left talks about it is that it is total and complete nonsense based on a wild ass guess.
