Just wondering. How many used automatic or semi automatic guns. You see , young man. Correlation is just a necessary condition, but not a sufficient one.

Ya know, that's too much to hope for. But wouldn't it be WONDERFUL!!!

I suggest a blend of this with Canada's gun laws as perfect for the U.S.

Was leaving out the WWII bombing of Dresden just an oversight? :rolleyes:

By definition, Criminals wouldn't care. But you'd care. You're not the type that enjoys paying large fines or hanging out in Federal Prisons, even if they do have nice ping pong equipment. :D The realty here is that I'm not proposing any thing to NRA nuts. I posting ideas that many will not...

This is a good argument. Probably the average original purchase cost of all guns that could not be brought into compliance after discounting for inflation and condition is more like 250$, but you have a much better Idea than I do. I'm certain that a lot would be fairly inexpensive...

I have read the entirety of Heller. At least twice. I know all of what you have just quoted and I have no disagreement with any of it. What is your point? Is it that no other gun other than a restricted or prohibited gun is suitable for self defense. If that is it, then why not state it...

I don't know, there are obvious choices. Do you have any suggestions? In Canada it's done through licensing fees, but there is a shortfall that is made up by the taxpayer.* By definition, the answer has to be "No". However I do believe that over a period of years, say twenty or so, virtually...

http://www.scotusblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/07-290.pdf You will find this on page 8 , 2nd paragraph, of the Heller Opinion. The part of the opinion that is most relevant to the current discussion, however, is section III that begins on page 54. This is the part you should be...

citation please.

See post #80 in your thread.

This is the era of "fake news". But it often isn't that difficult to tell the real from the fake. Once it is made clear which is which, the issue has been long forgotten and we are on to the next bit of fake news and "alternative facts." The only sure protection is a good education and an...

Not necessarily. What Scalia wrote in Heller was a caution, viz. Heller must not be interpreted as ruling out any regulation or limitation on the types of firearms we are allowed to own and use. In Heller the Court ruled, in essence that the D.C. Regulations went too far because, in effect...

TomB corrected me on semiautomatics. It is only semiautomatics with a barrel length less then 18" that are restricted. So you can hunt to your hearts content with a semiautomatic rifle, but according to TomB the magazine or clip size is limited. I really do like canada's very sensible gun...

Those are great regulations. I don't see any problem with adopting them in the U.S. The second Amendment does not give you the right to kill people with your semiautomatic. You can show it off in your collection (which is owning it) and you can use it at your gun club's target range (which...

Compliance simply means compliance with the law. Under Canadian law a semiautomatic is a restricted firearm and must be registered, and there are some restriction on who can own them. The majority of current semiautomatic owners would be able to comply. All they would have to do is register...

I outlined what I thought would be a workable and effective way to go about regulating firearms in Post #80, this thread. Please comment. (What I suggested was modeling U.S. law after Canadian Law. And I made a suggestion as to how the transition might be accomplished.) I don't think even...

On the surface what you state would seem plausible to many who are not students of the Constitution. If you read Heller however, you are bound to come to an entirely different conclusion. Canadian and U.S. law (except for State law in Louisiana) both stem from English common law. Scalia...

The narrative describes the indictees' activities and actions, all or portions of which are alleged to be illegal. Under the Counts at the end of the Indictment you will find references to the U.S. Codes and Sections of those Codes that it is being alleged the Indictees violated. You can pull...

Ha ha ha, it was apparently a Freudian slip! I could live happily in a society without guns. But my Libertarian philosophy won't permit me to advocate such. I know there are many that love their guns, and they have rights too. The anarcho-capitalists who are calling themselves "libertarians"...
