A system of laws designed to prevent the actions of criminals but affects only the law abiding... failed? Oh, how could that be?
Still waiting for someone to meaningfully address the issue raised in the OP. I suspect I'll have to wait until there's some fresh blood the anti-gun side can use to push a fallacious appeal to emotion.
California / Los Angeles, has always over Controlled Guns, To what effect ??? Every Criminal posseses / carries firearms. Law Abiding Citizens do not. What a Victory.
There were between 1994 and 2004, as there was a very precise if not useless definition in law. It also depends upon your state, as state laws also provide a definitive legal definition.
The same ruling that stated modern, widely owned and legally used firearms are not protected by the second amendment, and can indeed be prohibited from ownership?
And with so many states having so many varying legal definition of what does and does not qualify, the definition and meaning has come to mean quite literally everything, so it means quite literally nothing.
The same. "The FSA bans only certain military-style weapons and detachable magazines, leaving citizens free to protect themselves with a plethora of other firearms and ammunition. Those include magazines holding ten or fewer rounds, nonautomatic and some semiautomatic long guns, and — most importantly — handguns. The handgun, of course, is “the quintessential self-defense weapon.”" Whether or not SCOTUS rules against this decision, a liberal court found that the handgun is the most useful handgun for self defense, and unless they overturn the right to self defense they've hoisted themselves on their own petard.
Sauce for the Goose is also sauce for the Gander. All Political Parties need realize that Gun Laws and Regulations affect both Parties, it would indeed be "Interesting" if each Party could only pass Laws that would only apply to their constituents.
think of all the time,money,rhetoric and political focus that has been wasted on 'the assault rifle menace'...what a waste
Actually the logic is to remove violent creeps from our society permanently instead of maintaining a revolving-door prison system where they get cable TV and taxpayer-funded sex change operations.
True. But it's all about the emotions of scary-looking "military weapons." Then you've got idiots like this who are seen as "authorities" on the topic they discuss on the tee-vee: This is the same clown who wants to turn my entire state into one giant illegal alien sanctuary... ironically, setting loose into our streets known violent criminals who might have one of these "30 calibre clips" that can "disperse with 30 bullets within half a second."
