[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;22955763]But wouldn't the businesses be infringing on their rights? Why would a business want to ban them anyways?[/QUOTE] they're not banning them they're saying no guns are allowed on the property, which is perfectly in their rights.
Ohio has some pretty awesome and pretty lax gun laws.
[QUOTE=zombiefreak;22955859]They can do that already. Just post a sign saying "No guns allowed" on the front.[/QUOTE] Right, and I'm just reaffirming that.
Whoaaaaa, so apparently because the second amendment is a fundamental right, there is now grounds to challenge the 1986 machinegun ban. The hughes amendments to the 1986 act was actually turned down, but added to the bill anyways. Which was really shady and fucked up at the time. But now it constitutes a violation of fifth amendment rights. So there is now legal grounds to challenge the 1986 ban.

As much as I hate the ATF I hope the NFA is in.

I can't think of any reason to allow machine guns.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;22955375]This is Facepunch, have you seen anyone here ever change their opinion?[/QUOTE] My opinions have been shaped by some nice arguments here, I'm surprised noone else has in these many arguments
It's about time, assault weapon bans are the stupidest shit ever.
[QUOTE=Nyaos;22956229]I can't think of any reason to allow machine guns.[/QUOTE] For the reason that the second amendment was intended for, militias. We wouldn't NEED a national guard if private militias were strong enough. A government for the people, by the people.
wait wait.. does this mean california's bullshit gun laws are going out the window?!
Allowing machine guns is going a little too far.
[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;22951084]Great Britain banned firearms.[/QUOTE] lolno
[QUOTE=zombiefreak;22956312]For the reason that the second amendment was intended for, militias. We wouldn't NEED a national guard if private militias were strong enough. A government for the people, by the people.[/QUOTE] Haha. No, sorry. Militias don't work.
hot damn, i can now own 15 round handgun magazines.. i can now shoot 5 more cops!
[QUOTE=Doriol;22956332]Allowing machine guns is going a little too far.[/QUOTE] we need them to protect ourselves when obama comes to steal our guns :patriot:
[QUOTE=Nyaos;22956360]Haha. No, sorry. Militias don't work.[/QUOTE] The American Revolution didn't work? :psyduck:
[QUOTE=Perfumly;22953530]Movies should influence legislation now? Lol Guys Twilight made people think that they are vampires we need to ban teeth.[/QUOTE] Or at least ban Twilight.
"assault weapons" :911: god dammed assholes.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;22956507]The American Revolution didn't work? :psyduck:[/QUOTE] You're right, I forgot it was still the 18th century.
Also it's not like street sweepers should be legal.
[QUOTE=bravehat;22950329]Oh god, does this mean that people can basically get any weapon they want now? Or am I being a pillock as usual.[/QUOTE] Yeah man just ordered my tactical nuke.
[QUOTE=Nyaos;22956229]I can't think of any reason to allow machine guns.[/QUOTE] Yeah even I don't know if MG's are really necessary. I'd like the removal on barrel length of rifles removed, but a full on MG is a bit much. What I do know however is that the bill was illegally pushed through, and THAT bugs me. It should be challenged, removed from the books, and the process restarted if they want to ban machineguns. This time legally.
[QUOTE=Doriol;22956535]You're right, I forgot it was still the 18th century.[/QUOTE] What difference would there be between a militia then to now? People are people. They don't change, just the technology.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;22956565]What difference would there be between a militia then to now? People are people. They don't change, just the technology.[/QUOTE] Now they are just evangelical racists who hate the government.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;22956565]What difference would there be between a militia then to now? [/QUOTE] Are we really going to talk about this? The differences are pretty fucking obvious.

If it gets overturned, I will personally go out and buy myself a Tec-9 ...wait. I live in Maryland. Tec-9's are banned by state la- OH WAIT THE SUPREME COURT RULING MEANS THAT STATE AND LOCAL LAWS CAN'T BE TOUGHER THAN FEDERAL LAWS AHAHAHAHAHAHA
[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;22956551]Also it's not like street sweepers should be legal.[/QUOTE] Meh, it's less effective than a saiga shotgun. No real reason they should actually be illegal. Not that I think anyone really needs one. They are pieces of shit. But if there is no valid legal reason why people SHOULDN'T have one, then they should be available.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;22956595]Source [editline]02:20PM[/editline] Do tell[/QUOTE] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutaree[/url] now cut that out it's annoying as fuck.
