Question from a legal idiot.....Didn't we already have an assault weapon ban? Did it not survive legal challenges?
It did, but it was different. The prior banned specific attributes of the gun. So the gunmakers went just shy of those attributes. AR's were still available, just not with a green button (stupid example, no time to look it up).
This one is different banning the look and feel.
I don't think it ever faced a full legal challenge either.
Plus, it proved that it was ineffective and nothing more than a slap on the back feel good measure.
OK. I honestly don't know. Just bothers me that any gun related measure immediately has a world is ending, we all gon die reaction.
Working in the natural resource world, I'm surrounded by people with LOTS of guns. And you're right, any tweaking of gun laws, regardless how small or trivial, is indeed ungod-like and will be met with apocalyptic fury.
As it should, just like any inference of interfering with any other amendment to the Constitution should be met with equal apocalyptic fury. Recent discussions surrounding the Press come to mind.
Yeah well, the gun crowd is a little nervous. Walk through a Cabelas and shout the words 'background check' and you'll see a stampede heading toward the gun counter.
Make the comment that fake news is the enemy of the people and all of the sudden news organizations are ammending quotes and riling up the rubes that our President is attacking the 1st amendment. At least one promotes commerce.
