Assault Weapons Ban

[Associate Justice PiT]

     The Assault Weapons Ban was a largely useless piece of legislation that served little real purpose. As someone who is actually somewhat knowledgeable about firearms, I cannot support it.

[Associate Justice PiT]

No. It has so little impact on gun deaths that the Second Amendment right overrides it.

correct, and the "assault weapons" banned are semi autos not anything actually designed for use in war zones. if anything just ban unlicensed handguns and forget about it. that's the only sort of gun "compromise" that i could live with. of course that would require some honesty and logic on the part of the voters and politicians who want "reasonable gun control." which means it will never be seriously talked about outside obscure internet forums

     It would also require voters and politicians who want "reasonable gun control" to have a basic understanding of what they are trying to control. Just another reason why it will never happen.
