Assault weapons ban? Allowed to sunset, not a law.

The other things are laws, you are under the incorrect assumption that assault weapons ban is a law. Its not, it was, but democrats chickened out instead of allowing it to be challenged.

An assault weapons ban still exists. All those things exist and are constitutional.


Facts are facts

Your post is factually challenged.

Federal Assault Weapons Ban - Wikipedia
The assault weapons ban expired on September 13, 2004. Legislation to renew or replace the ban was proposed numerous times unsuccessfully.

Between May 2003 and June 2008, U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, D-CA, and Representatives Michael Castle, R-DE, Alcee Hastings, D-FL, and Mark Kirk, R-IL, introduced bills to reauthorize the ban.[47] At the same time, Senator Frank Lautenberg, D-NJ, and Representative Carolyn McCarthy, D-NY, introduced similar bills to create a new ban with a revised definition for assault weapons. None of the bills left committee.[48]

You don't get alternate facts...

Perhaps you are attempting to make it about that. I am talking about the type of society we want to live in and what restrictions we will enact as part of that society.

Right, how did we go from social and psychological tragedy of mass shootings and what to do about them ; to "You're taking away my freedoms. I have a 2nd Amendment right to buy military rifles that I need to shoot the government that's coming to get me.":gunner:

It is so laughable - if the US government makes a decision to go after someone with force and finality - then that persons ass is grass. And all the AK47's and AR15's they can get their hands on are not going to reverse their sad fate.
 
vegas giants said:
Oh my God. That was hilarious.


All of those laws are state laws. Lol


And completely constitutional.


You are hilarious

Let's see you prove you know which states have assault weapons bans and then why the federal ban was ripe to be overturned.

And you know you said exactly what I stated. So going to admit you said that or play shifting goalposts until the end of time?

I haven't been on this board all that long, but I recognize the slippery ones when I see them.

You are the tyrannical assumption that the armed forces will go after people for exercising their rights. It's a sick fantasy for you that gun owners would be exterminated because you would never try to confiscate their weapons yourself.

You think one bullet and one gun satisfies the 2nd amendment, you are so far to the extreme you don't register on the scale.

Thinking the US government will begin killing people to confiscate weapons, that's sick.

But yet, you say that but cannot support it with any actual quote. And still do not.

Actually,enforcing the law against criminals is simply reality despite your hyper dramatic hyperbole.

You know you said it, I know you said it. Just because I don't want to waste my time to find the exact quote of errant bull**** you spew doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Government engaging in confiscation of weapons that are legal under the constitution is a government that has abdicated their oaths.

The government will never confiscate gold. All you people who predict the confiscation of gold are exhibiting hyper dramatic hyperbole.

So it should be easy for you to quote it the. You will not because that is not my position and never has been my position.

You are engaging in deliberate falsehoods designed to defame others and slur them. Such tactics are disgusting and shamefully disgraceful.

You are in the wrong forum. This is not about the gold standard.

Right. The government will never do anything unexpected. Like, they will never confiscate guns like they confiscated gold.

Yesterday, Mr. Opportunity quite adamantly explained that he never implied unattractive characteristics to people. No, sir. He was not into implying. That was just peoples' misinterpretation. Today he seems again to find himself needing to explain that he wasn't "implying".

Too funny!!!!!
