As you’ll see in a moment, the latest figures demonstrate that all of the guns and magazines that Biden is hoping to ban are clearly in common use by millions of Americans for a variety of lawful purposes, and squarely fall under the protections offered by the Second Amendment. [More]
And as few "gunpundits" seem to see, no matter how long you give them, "in common use" is not about popularity. It is about "every terrible implement of the soldier," that is, "ordinary military equipment" capable of enabling citizens to prevail in "common defense" battles. Were it otherwise, withholding new technology from We the People would be all tyrants would need to keep it forever out of "common use."
Kind of like those offensively intolerable “RESTRICTED LAW ENFORCEMENT/GOVERNMENT USE ONLY'' mandates have been designed to do...
I'm wondering when anyone of note and influence will start arguing core purpose...
Isn't that exactly what happened with NFA & 86 GCA?
ReplyDeleteGov bans or otherwise makes unobtainable then uses the argument that they are not common or they are unusual?
Makes my head hurt.
Wouldn't it be a delicious irony if Biden/Harris were to require AR-15s and similar weapons to be registered under the NFA, only to have the Supreme Court turn around and declare the NFA to be Unconstitutional!!!
ReplyDeleteLet's suppose that John Q. Gunowner decides to extend his middle finger in response to Biden's new "common sense gun safety" laws. As a result, he doesn't get an NFA tax stamp for his previously legal AR15. He gets caught. He's in a world of trouble.
ReplyDeleteNow to my point. Suppose he also has a full auto or burst mode sear in it? How much additional trouble is he in?
Or another scenario. Which would get you in more trouble?
1. An unregistered AR15
2. A home made Sten
Last question:
If every unregistered semi-auto firearm is as illegal as an unregistered full-auto firearm, what stops all those "ghost gun" makers from making ones that are full-auto?
I've never understood how the NFA is constitutional.
ReplyDeleteMiller was 'convicted' under the idea that his SBS was unsuitable for militia use (that's a stretch in and of itself). So, full auto which is entirely suitable is 1.Heaviily regulated and taxed under NFA, 2. Banned under 86GCA, 3. Entirely illegal in several states.
How does that work?
It's not constitutional. Tyrants say it is and no one rebels and hangs them is how it works.
