Define assault weapon

No it wasn't, which is why every state had to adopt their own rules, and why that particular federal law was allowed to expire.

Nope it worked just fine for ten years and applied to every state

No one alive was around for the fire arms act of 1934 either...yet, full auto guns are still severely restricted.

Your logic is suspect.

My logic is pure. The words of the constitution are quite clear

I don't play your silly games. You know what kind of weapons are being discussed. If not, perhaps you should get involved in the conversation instead of this incessant bickering. Dude - don't you get it? It ain't working!!! You just had 3 mass killings in 2 days. We all need to take responsiblity. Most Republicans approve of assault weapon bans. The NRA-brainwashed are now a very minor minority. Politicians need to start listening to their constituents.

So why do they want to swell their ranks with 16 year olds and illegals? Could the Dems. be having a constituent problem? Where do you get " very minor minority"? Polls in heavily (D) controlled populated big cities.
 
They see me trollen, they haten, patrollen, trying to catch riden trolley, riden trolly...

You didn't read all of that, otherwise you wouof have noted that the word ordnance doesn't appear once.

Arms vs Ordnance - What's the difference? | WikiDiff

Hair splitting, yes...but this is a thread for that. Arms refers to military, offensive and defensive, and fighting weapons.

Ordnance can mean the same thing, but is most often used to refer to explosives. It even has the artillery in its definition, while arms does not.

Further, the people of 1776 and beyond were not permitted to own canons, the ordnance of the times. That had to be registered, and I believe it cost 200 dollars...which was a small fortune. Basically limiting ownership to privateers and well funded militias.

Truth. That's what I was looking for. But your right he didn't read it or he wouldn't have posted it since it went against his agenda.

What is my agenda if I am making the case that ordnance is protected by the second amendment?

You can't be a gun banner one day and be against any gun bans the next. All I see is a silly attempt at humor on your part.

I have supported gun bans as much as you have

I can shoot 9 man sized targets in 30 seconds with pair of cap and ball revolvers..

I can likely hit 9 man sized targets in 30 seconds with a lever action.

A few less with a bolt action.

Why do people automatically assume a semi auto is a magic thing?

Because they know nothing about fire arms.



“Mad minute” was a term used by British riflemen during training to describe scoring 15 hits onto a target at 300 yd (274.3 m) within one minute using a bolt-action rifle. It was not uncommon during the First World War for riflemen to greatly exceed this score. Many riflemen could average 30+ shots, while the record, set in 1914 by Sergeant Instructor Alfred Snoxall was 38 hits.

I watched a slightly built British veteran of the Africa Campaign with Montgomery whack three Hyenas running at full speed in three different directions, with a Winchester 458 Magnum bolt gun This was 43 years ago but I had hit the first one with a 30-06 or a 7mm Remington Magnum and this guy had shot all three by the time I was lining up a second shot-and I was really fast. I remember saying-Damn, Steve that was fast-and he said "Laddie, you should have seen what I could do with an SMLE shooting at a bunch of Jerrys"
