[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some good news: The Supreme Court today declined to intervene and block the Illinois ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines. No noted dissents. (Note: This would have required five votes.)

No surprise waiting for this case and similar ones in other democratic run states to work their way up through the circuit courts.   Then they can issue a clear decision on all of them.

Hopefully will include the line - what part of “shall not be infringed”  don’t you people get. [/quote]

Gun owners are not at all being infringed.  They are still being allowed fully functional handguns with normal capacity magazines, along with fully functional ordinary hunting rifles with normal capacity magazines that don't look like military weapons.[/quote]Sure.  Sure.  Let's roll back the internet to dial-up speed and start riding around on horses while we're at it.[/quote]

We had a ban for 20 years and it was fine. Relax.[/quote]

It most definitely was not fine. Tens of thousands of people were sentenced to lengthy prison terms in that time because they possessed things that were perfectly legal before the law turned them into criminals. [/quote]

This is an absolute lie.  That is not at all how the law worked.  The AWB allowed people to keep the guns they already had in their possession prior to the ban date.  NOBODY was arrested for possessing a gun that had been legal for them to own before it went into effect.  And this is easily verifiable by looking at what the law says:

https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/103/hr3355/text

SEC. 110102(a)(2) "shall not apply to the possession or transfer of any semiautomatic assault weapon otherwise lawfully possessed under Federal law on the date of the enactment of this subsection."

Shall not apply.

Either you are making shit up or you are a gullible idiot under the influence of brazen liars and propagandists.  GTFO with your "boo hoo tens of thousands of law abiding gun owners were thrown in jail for nothing" BS, because it never happened.  It's a lie.  Busted.  Kaput.  Stop posting lies.[/quote]

Seems like a pretty pointless law if it let people keep guns that were banned. What was that supposed to accomplish then? [/quote]
