And beta blockers, and penicillin... omg.. which has killed so many people! Not to mention blood thinners, blood products, morphine... the list goes on and on and on
LETS FUCKING BAN THEM ALL!
Actually, blood thinners like coumadin have killed a number of people after prolonged use. Most Rat Poisons use the same drug.
Penicillin is largely ineffective due to anti biotic resistant bacteria, so using it may indirectly lead to the death of a patient.
As for your point, you are actually failing to see the truth.
Assault weapons are not sold to the general public.
Semi Automatic weapons are.
The whole thing that makes a weapon an assault weapon is the select fire capability. Not the pistol grip, flash suppressor, bayonet lug, or the reciever frame it is built on.
Feinstein is using a false classification that if anyone really wanted to challenge it, they could take it to the supreme court and get the law throne out.
The reason no one challenged the last ban, was that weapons already in the production/shipping supply chain was excluded, just like they are in this bill.
Tell me, are you going to fight a law that made a weapon that pre-ban sold for $700 and after ban sells for $2000?
So, lets say the manufacturers of the AR15 based rifle have probably got half a million in the warehouses, and another 250 thousand in the production pipeline, hell they are going to make a fortune after the ban.
Not to mention the 3 or more million AK47's presently in the import warehouses in the port cities.
The supply of semi auto weapons did not dry up during the last ban. And if the new ban lasts longer than the supply, some bright lawyer is going to see a chance to file a class action suit based on the wording of the law, and get it thrown out simply because "Assault Weapons" are not sold to the general public except under the NFA provisions.
So the weapons get more expensive, well it will cut down the number of people who can buy them due to financial reasons.
But the last three rifles I bought totaled just over 8 grand. And trust me, with my training and the simple fact I keep my skills well honed, I can do a lot more damage with those three weapons than what happened in New Town CT.
Now to really scare the shit out of you. The training has improved a lot, so in effect I am the 1.2 version, the guys getting out of the military with the same MOS that I had, are the 3.0 version, and due to the high number of combat tours are a hell of a lot more mentally unstable than I am.
Thanks to shrub, there are going to be a lot more men losing touch with reality and going off the deep end in the next ten years than ever before.
I volunteer at a local PTSD center and have been dealing with a lot of these vets. Some of them we can convince to go into an institution for the PTSD, many wont. It is those that wont that I am worried about.
