I guess we can look forward to Trump signing the assault weapons ban he promised he would.
I'm not sure an assault weapons ban that included the AR15 would pass constitutional muster since Heller. Even the liberal justices have admitted that an AR15 is a firearm in common use now. I think it now would require a constitutional amendment.Ag_of_08 said:

IDK...if it was passed by US congress I doubt SCOTUS would have the stones to overturn it. They seem to give way too much leeway to unconstitutional actions of congress because of "the will of the people" and whatnot. I think that is absolutely wrong and they should only judge constitutionality, but that is where we are.Tom Fox said:I'm not sure an assault weapons ban that included the AR15 would pass constitutional muster since Heller.

Yep, SCOTUS cannot be trusted to uphold the 2nd Amendment. Heck, they won't even protect the 1st anymore.aggieforester05 said:IDK...if it was passed by US congress I doubt SCOTUS would have the stones to overturn it.

Why do people keep saying "need"? It doesn't even have anything to do with need. 95% of what American's consume on a daily basis is not based on need. We don't need alcohol, but it kills more people than automatic guns could ever dream of. We don't need 85" TVs. Heck, we don't need sports or television at all. But people who can afford them, want them.Kelsey Odair 09 said:
We don't need ANY fully automatic weapons on our streets. There are now fully automatic glock clips available that people can buy. Just google it.
