(14,559 posts)We had a national ban on "assault rifles". We have a host of state bans and on "assualt rifles". SCOTUS had either upheld them or refused to hear challenges.
Heller says there is no right to keep and bear any kind of gun for any reason anywhere.
Been down this gun falateing road too many time in the last 50 years to think a rational conversation will proceed.
