Come and TAKE it. Because 0% chance I will comply with any more infringements.
In fact if there was a new ban I would get set up with 80% lowers and make untraceable AR15s in my basement.
I heard some wisdom the other day in a conversation about gun control/confiscation/legislation.... If you think its time to bury them or hide them, its probably time to use them.
I'll kindly let you revise your response after you look up the legal definition of the word 'amendment'.
Here's hoping less deaths overall as civilization learns to be 'civil' .
Neither the Constitution, nor our government grants rights. The Constitution only upholds, and acknowledges SOME rights. That doesn't mean we are limited to those rights.
Folks, here's an example of an anti who does not understand firearms. S/he thinks that there is a definition of an "assault weapon" existing somewhere. There isn't.
Please don't confuse semi-automatic and fully automatic firearms! Semi-auto's (even "black" ones) do NOT "spray a bazillion rounds". They operate like every other semi-auto rifle, very much including hunting rifles that quite a lot of hunters prefer to use. One round per one trigger pull, got that?? Only a fully automatic firearm can "spray a bazillion rounds", and there are very few persons in the US who are licensed to own one.
But but...I totally saw them on the Expendables and Rambo...
Maybe that could be a good political trade off....We ban all weapons that shoot a bazillion rounds on full auto. You know those ones we see in Hollywood that keep shooting and shooting and shooting and shooting....never get too hot, never run out of ammo.
I will need to look harder, because I can't find it right now - but the Seattle P-I (or some media outlet in Seattle) posted an article with in days of the passing of I-594 in 2014. Basically, the article was an interview with the group who got the initiative on the ballot, and they admitted that I-594 was just the first step, and it's passing was the fuel they needed to get stricter gun control initiatives started. I will try to find the article.
As others have already said - what good do they think a ban on AR-15's will do? There are already millions of them in citizen's hands (and probably criminal's hands) right now.
I fully believe that attempts at confiscation will lead to more dead people, on both sides, than any school shooting has caused.
All you have to do is look at the gun ban efforts of other nations. Australia went after semi rifles, then pump action, and then lever action. Clinton expressed support for banning any scope over 4 X as a "sniper scope". Its all about incrementalism,. and the gun banners are a patient crowd and willing to wait to get to their final desired outcome

And they say that they don't want our guns...
I-594 was their way of duping people to vote for gun registration in disguise.
The law is completely unconstitutional, and unlawful under current federal law, as well.
I joined the NRA a few days ago and I don't even have a gun. Its about the 2nd Amendment. We don't need gun control. We need Nutcase Control.
