In reply to the discussion: Ammunition is not covered by the 2A [View all]AtheistCrusader
(33,982 posts)45. Other countries are uninteresting to this question.
UK/Australia don't have a 2nd Amendment.
I don't view a closed registry as a 'ban'. Individuals are still able to commercially produce and repair those weapons, it's simply unavailable for lawful sale to the public. Splitting hairs? Perhaps. But a registry can be reopened. Nothing was confiscated, the spigot of sales was simply disabled. (Pre-86 unregistered guns became non-compliant, and cannot be registered, and must be destroyed, and come with civil penalties. Same thing happened to gold in the 20's-40's.)
California is free to use a registry for that. They could also pull the form 4473's from FFL's and accomplish the same thing with a little more effort.

By your logic, the democratic party should already be trounced by the hughes amendment.

i594 is horrible. It is going to be openly violated on the steps of the Statehouse.

SF? They don't allow sales of Hollow Points but they do allow butt-naked dining outdoors.

Well, when you're so warm from the explosion, it makes sense to take off your jacket.

Yes, this was well-trodden legal ground, regardless of the topic here being guns.

What cracks me up is that the poster is exercising first amendment rights on a computer.
