assault weapons, my arse,that is a liberal spin from Dianna Fienstien from several years ago when the libs tried to make the black rifle the scary gun, Barbara Boxer even said at one point if they (ar-15)didn't have those barrel shrouds she would be in favor of reconsidering the ban on them. then
pulled back on her statement.for anyone who has not drank the cool-aid the left has been feeding people and those that have, any tool used to attack another is an assault weapon from a ink pen to a sub-machine gun.

Is it illegal to own a tank? I've kinda been kickiing it around...

No skin off my nose and none of my business what you own and use.

Once it becomes my business because you took skin off my nose is the only reason for your 2A rights to be questioned.

Otherwise, knock yourself out enjoying your freedom.

Depending on your state laws you can there are no federal laws that ban ownership just a lot of hoops to jump through such as

Depends on State laws. Federally, machine guns are registered under the National Firearms Act of '34, and to be legally transferable for civilian ownership it needs to have been registered before the registry closed in 1986. $200 tax and a Form 4 to register.

For an RPG, it'd be an Explosive Destructive Device... assuming it was legally imported, again, $200 and a Form 4.

Let's say you could get somebody to sell you an Abrams, roll-away, just as a thought experiment. The coaxial 7.62 and the commander's hatch gun would be illegal MG's and have to be scrapped, the main gun at greater than 1/2" bore and no sporting purpose is a Large Bore Destructive Device ($200 and a Form 4), and each shell is an Explosive DD (which means $200 and a Form 4 EACH). And, oh by the way, you ALSO have to make sure it's kosher under all State and Local laws too...


Just as an aside I know a guy who has all of those and more as well as one of the largest collections of full auto guns in the country.

It can get to be a real expensive hobby really fast

Yep, we are all clear on what she meant even though she skirted around it.

And the Constitution can be a living document. It just takes a majority of Americans to decide we need a convention to amend it.

We amended it to end slavery and recognize the right of women to vote.

If enough Americans feel this strongly about the matter then they can call for a convention to amend the 2A concerning "military style" weapons... Otherwise quit trying to pass silly stupid laws that don't pass a Constitutional litmus test.

After the Heller decision I don't know how in the world the NFA is still standing.

Mike

after that decision i dont know why anyone is having any conversation on gun control. period.

It will only live if it can be defended.

That's what I was referring to Lug. The discussion needs to be about the other gazillion things that need fixed imo, not adapting the Constitution to fit the "modern world" and their agenda.

The only thing that needs fixed about the 2nd is that states should not be allowed to infringe on it with state laws.

Federal law trumps state law except for illegal guns and legal drugs....

Some state Constitutions have freedom-to-bear-arms articles that are worded more clearly than 2A.

I'm just a layman but how I interpreted Heller was Justice Scalia left a lot of doors wide open.

I understand and I share everyone's concern. But I don't think she ever refereed to the Constitution as a "living document", that is a liberal term and Condi has always been very pro-Constitution and pro 2A.

During the interview she addressed several of the other issues regarding the Parkland shooting including on-campus armed security and the failure of authorities to act given all the warning signs with this individual. She did indicate she was not a fan of arming teachers but preferred trained security personnel.

Not being in favor of allowing a teacher the option to carry a gun to defend themselves is an anti gun/anti 2nd position.

Gun free/kill zones need to be outlawed.

I would have voted for her if she had run. A good person with real life experiences......jk

Lug, I'm not sure how this could be interpreted any other way, but I will respectfully agree to disagree. (If you send me some scrapple)

In 15 years in the military including four Desert tours...I never saw an AR 15. Never have considered an AR a military weapon. Anyone here think an M16 and AR15 are the same thing?

If you read the whole transcript she never does speak about AR 15s, the reference to ARs is not a quote it is a editorial comment trying to put words in her mouth.

The first M-16s issued to US personnel were often stamped "Colt ArmaLite AR-15"
Ref: Pages 744–759 "Small Arms of the World" 12th Revised Edition by Edward Clinton Ezell.

So what did she mean in the first paragraph?
