It doesn't take decades to present a legal argument to the lower courts.

you will get the usual dishonest evasion from the anti gun extremists who will claim that as long as you can own some guns your rights are intact

which is like telling a Lutheran as long as he can attend a catholic mass his right to practice "Christianity is intact"

There is a huge difference between a few bucks and the quadrupling of prices. Especially when nothing you've suggested saves anybody, but might also by disarming good people, cost lives.

Keep telling yourself that though :roll:

I don't give a rat's ass if the price go's up ten fold! That's not worth the life of one those school children that were killed.

And no one is being disarmed, most of the gun people on this thread have said for years that they believe there are only cosmetic differences so they can hardly claim hardship now.

I am happy you feel the ban created no hardship! :cool:

how many times are you going to spam this idiocy. any interference on a right is a hardship if that interference is designed to further restrict the right

I had to pay more for stuff because of the ban-that is a hardship and it had no public safety utility

using your moronic standards, straights shouldn't care about anti homosexual sodomy laws, men shouldn't care about abortion rights and whites shouldn't care about Jim Crow laws because none of them faced a "hardship" based on obvious restrictions on other people

ever heard of pastor Niemoller in Nazi Germany

We don't get to chose between the two, but what we can do is demonstrate how ineffective your ideas are.

The mere talk of your bad ideas defeat your goal, by sending gun owners and would be gun owners in a frenzy. If you're really so concerned about AWBs and 30 round magazines, why is your lot creating so much incentive for us to buy out a years supply in a week? Thanks to your lot and their idiotic tripe, MORE people have AR's and 30 round mags.

I guess you don't care about how such prohibitive prices disarm the poor, leaving them without adequate means of self defense.

false choice and dishonest one

i could say I would happily sacrifice the lives of people like you to save our constitutional rights-that would be about the same logic but probably more a proper correlation.

if gun ownership was as popular with far left socialists as it is with conservatives do you really believe we'd see so much idiocy about guns coming from the far left?
 
Where is the polling option for "I hate the term and don't use it, because the media just means that it looks scary"?
There are:
Bolt action rifles
Lever action rifles
Semi-automatic rifles
Fully-automatic rifles

You have no rights to assault weapons and hi cap mags, as we found out during the last federal ban.
 
In reality the weapons in question are civilian (civilian police and others) self defense weapons. HOw do I know that? every major CIVILIAN law enforcement agency in the USA issues them to their CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES.

Actually I do have rights to high capacity magazines, the whole part of "shall not be infringed" Illegitimate law doesn't change that. I don't have a right to "assault weapons" because they don't exist, however I do have a right to assault rifles, illegitimate laws notwithstanding. I don't expect you to understand any of this, it doesn't fit your agenda.

You haven't been right about anything yet. TD has been schooling you on this, as has the rest of us who don't like government pissants messing with our rights. Actually, come to think of it, more people have been harmed during the OWS protests than through firearms use, should we now reign in the right to redress of government and right to assemble guaranteed in the first? Maybe, yeah, if people assemble in their homes away from others who don't feel like putting up with their stupid crap we can say their rights to free speech and assembly haven't been abridged. Yeah, I like this, allow police to use all force available to them including deadly next time OWS or some other group that I don't like gets uppity, that way no one gets injured in the future when people become prohibited from assembly, but hey, if you can bitch in your house with your friends your rights still exist correct.

Of course my example would be an infringement and seriously shouldn't be considered, I'm demonstrating the absolute absurdity of you claiming you have any standing to infringe upon a right that is not up for infringement. Remember, it doesn't say "shall not be infringed unless someone really really wants to".

Where did you buy assault weapons and hi cap mags legally in the US during the ban?

And your point is? No one has proposed banning handguns. Apples do not equal oranges.

Shooters supply shop-loveland Ohio
Target World-Sharonville Ohio
One Shot-Newtown Ohio

i guess you are ignorant of the fact that stuff made before the ban but still new on the shelves was able to be bought.

and I bought stuff Diane Fineturd claimed were assault weapons but had changed a flash hider for a muzzlebreak and had a thumbhole stock rather than a pistol grip and those were Legal. Of course the minute the stupid law ended I converted those weapons back to how they should look. I have a few of those silly stocks if you want to buy them

many of us have been stocking up on AR 15 receivers, the one part you have to fill out a 4473 on. Most of us know how to fully build an AR-15 from scratch. and since the receiver was bought after the silly law was over but before your dream law passes (if it ever does) then I can build a bunch more and its gonna be impossible for some anti gun bureaucrat to prove when the gun was actually assembled since it on paper in 2009

Oh I know thousands upon thousands have been sold for such use

So, you say didn't buy new hi cap mags, just remaining stock that was grandfathered, and that the ban did not have much teeth. I'm willing to bet the ban will be more far reaching this time.

they were new unused in the wrapper. and I know for a fact that some magazines made overseas while the ban was in place came into this country and were sold in the course of trade. Silly law, many people ignored it

I am willing to bet that it won't be. I am willing to bet people like DIFI wouldn't be around very long if the police go door to door trying to seize stuff people have owned for years
