    A proper SC action would be to take the case and tell Illinois to get all "assault rifles(AR stands for armalite rifle)" out of the government departments that have them, or allow their citizens to have them.

    Right. Ban "assault weapons" for law abiding gun owners. That way, when your home gets invaded by some homie with a stolen AR15, you can try and protect yourself with a 6 shooter.

    Given the public support for rational gun regulation, I'd have to say it is a matter of the well-stocked arsenal of carrots and sticks that the NRA wields to keep its politicians in line.

    From "The Court of Appeals decision"......
    "it may reduce the carnage if a mass shooting occurs,"...............IT MAY.
    "makes the public feel safer as a result".............................FEEL SAFER.
    That's all these liberals want. IT MAY and FEEL SAFER. To be honest with you, this NON-hoarding gun owner does NOT want a court decision that says "IT MAY" and FEEL SAFER". I WANT it WILL and WILL make you safer.........
    Court fails again!

    Did you actually look at the picture?
    Two of these rifles pictured are legal in CT NY and CA.
    One is not.
    How does that make sense?

    - - - Updated - - -

    The flash suppressor is not illegal in CA; it is not illegal no mount a flash suppressor on a bolt- or lever-action rifle.

    Just like how I can buy a Kriss Vector without a stock as a "pistol" but if I then put an aftermarket stock on, I will have illegally modified a "pistol" into a "short barrel rifle" and will have committed a felony.

    If you're talking about the picture of the AR-15's, yes I did see it. To me it doesn't make sense that anyone would need one anyway. I live in SD and pretty much everyone has a gun of some sort. We do a lot of hunting but why would I need a AR-15? Not a bad varmint rifle but there are better.

    I'm talking about the three rifles I posted in this thread.

    One is not.

    Law abiding gun owners have NO USE for assault weapons. Only people who "plan" something should have a real use for assault weapons.

    The life of "law abiding gun owners" would not be disturbed at all by the banning of those assault weapons. . .their pride, and their addiction might take a small hit. . .but no one would die from it!

    If a "law abiding gun owner" can not "defend" himself with a hand gun. . .he certainly cannot defend himself with an assault weapon!
    If a law abiding gun owner doesn't feel safe with a hand gun, the sense of FALSE safety he would get from owning an assault weapon would be all psychological. . .paranoia, mostly!

    By the way, If AR 15 become illegal, there would be A LOT LESS chance that any would be stolen from silly "law abiding gun owners!"

    And, whether the intruder use an AR15 or a hand gun, he will ALWAYS have the advantage of KNOWING he is coming to kill. . .
    I don't believe that ANYONE (except crazy people. . .who shouldn't own ANY firearms to begin with) will sleep with a loaded AR 15 in their bed. . .so an intruder would ALWAYS have the advantage of surprise anyway!

    This is either a lie, or a statement of ignorance,
    Which do you choose?

    There is no sound argument for the necessity,. or the constitutionality, for a ban on 'assault weapons'.

    Next?

    What makes you believe that I must "choose" anything?

    I will proclaim my opinion anytime I choose to.

    And I repeat. . . NO law abiding gun owners has ANY USE for an assault weapon!

    These are NOT toys. . .and even if they were. . .ADULTS take dangerous toys away from children!

    Right. Just what I said. Ban them from law abiding citizens so only the criminals have them. That way, when a criminal with a stolen AK from some Mexican cartel comes and robs your house and threatens your family, you can scare them off with your little M9 berretta.

    Your statement is false; I thought I would allow you to choose.if you were lying or ignorant.
    Its one or the other; I suppose it could be both.

    It doesn't matter how many times you say it -- you cannot in anyway show this to be true.

    There is no sound argument for the necessity,. or the constitutionality, for a ban on 'assault weapons'.

    Well well well, I did notice all of the liberals on this forum can't give me an answer as to why the liberal loon state of California hasn't banned assault style weapons? In fact the governor Brown vetoed it, and now we watch all this BS coming from the left. As a matter of fact, those weapons were purchased legally in California, while governor Brown was blaming Nevada and Arizona. Pathetic liberal loon indeed

    I couldn't care less about assault style weapons being banned, because the reality is, they are rarely used, which makes your argument weak, and again, most deaths from using a firearm are suicides, and they never have used an assault weapon for that.

    If it's to be taken literally then there is no constitutionality for the ban of rocket launchers and hand grenades either

    Enjoy the 'sweetness' of having gun owners' rights squashed by tin-horn local governments if that gives you a thrill. BUT, when criminals (Islamic or otherwise) arm themselves with outlawed "assault weapons", and all you've got is the single-shot shotgun that Joe Biden recommended, don't complain when the criminals put about six rounds in your disbelieving, hyperliberal body before you can even crap your pants....

    [​IMG]. "Allah be praised! All these stupid infidels have is single-shot pop guns...."

    The 2nd amendment is clear this is why the SCOTUS will not hear it. They would have to declare any weapons ban unconstitutional. Which it is.

    in your professional opinion, what qualifies a gun as an "assault weapon"?

    I don't have a "professional opinion."

    Thank God, I am NOT a firearm professional. . .But as a health care professional, ANY firearm is an "assault weapon" in the hands of some people!

    But you knew that. . .so why are you trolling?
