(17,502 posts)I haven't seen anyone suggesting we repeal the Gun Control Act or NFA here or anywhere else. Amend them, yes but not repeal them. The 1927 Miller Act, could be repealed because the GCA more than fixes what it attempted to do.
What is reasonable besides a weasel word? One person's reasonalbe is another person's bat shit crazy.
I think the Gun Control Act is generally reasonable. NFA as it deals with machine guns is reasonable, although regulating single shot rifles with 15 inch barrels in the same manner isn't. When it comes to short barreled shotguns and rifles, Canada and most of Europe is is laxer than we are.
What if someone defines "reasonable" as UBC added to what is federal law with some amendments? I think so
Is adopting UK, France, and New Zealand style restrictions on silencers reasonable? I think so
I also agree with the UK when it comes to 30 round magazines.
Nothing is either/or. Everything exists on a continuum. Reality isn't us/them, black/white, red/blue, or even different shades of gray or purple. The real word is Technicolor filled with nuance and complexity.
