Do u believe that all assault weapons should be banned in the US ? 🔫

Unless you are in law enforcement or a military person or personnel. What do you think. Should regular law abiding citizens be able to own assault weapons. 300 school shootings since 2012 and counting. 🔥

Well, this is my compromise: If the 2nd Amendment is going to be supported and enforced as a God-given right communicated by the Founding Fathers, then it should be enforced exactly as it was written, as the conservatives want. If you have a weapon commonly used in 1798 - like a musket or rifle firing two or three .60 balls per minute at an accurate range of 300 yards, or maybe the 6-pound field gun, firing projectiles 1500 yards, usually one shot every two minutes - then you're covered and need not worry about the liberals coming fer yer guns. However, if the amendment isn't open to interpretation or revision to fit the times, then neither should be the weaponry it covers.

@Graylight laughing so hard

Let's apply that to all amendments.

We will have to outlaw televisions and radios now.

@MasterLee Banning assault weapons does not violate the Constitution.

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@Zonuss ar15 is not an assault weapon

Still stand by that, does he?

George Washington is quoted one time out of context in an effort to cover both the 2nd amendment and the civil right of owning a firearm. He also wasn't talking about today's weapons or society. He was talking about a temporary militia organized around single shot muskets and vigilant for an occupying government.

@Graylight read the countless supreme Court rulings debunking your opinion.

Graylight · 51-55, F

@MasterLee They don't debunk it. It's not a win-lose situation. They interpret it differently, and right now that makes gun ownership the law of the land. That's fine, but they've said little on how best to regulate arms, and unregulated arms are not protected under the Constitutions.

MasterLee · 56-60, M

All arms are over regulated.

Graylight · 51-55, F

@MasterLee Tell me how they're over-regulated in Florida. Or Nevada.

MasterLee · 56-60, M

In the 1700s they didn't have mass media. Maybe we should have huge restrictions on television network news.

Graylight · 51-55, F

@MasterLee Deflection of the request.

MasterLee · 56-60, M

Here is a good compromise we can all live with

We keep our guns, you can keep whining. Both are guaranteed in the Constitution.

Graylight · 51-55, F

@MasterLee No one wants your guns. Just sensible regulation.

MrBrownstone · 46-50, M

@Graylight When illegal immigrates commit a crime,do you whine about immigration laws?

Graylight · 51-55, F

@MrBrownstone Same answer. Sensible regulation.

MrBrownstone · 46-50, M

@Graylight Then you are in favor of ridding the US of democrats?
