To me it's all about people being fear-mongered into it

because your day-to-day isn't affected by it.

I don't walk outside afraid somebody will shoot me

any more or less than I'm afraid of being run over by a drunk driver

The wording on I1639 itself is probably why it passed

"semi automatic assault rifles"

Well it's being brought to the supreme court

That will take a while for it to go through

It also failed to state a lot of what I1639 actually does beyond "regulating" them

Imma live in those counties tho

And then 1639 had many issues regarding the ballot initiative process itself

I just got myself a WASR-10 today before 1639 kicks in

Also it's always advertised as "Gun-safety" and not "Gun-regulation"

Which I can't help but feel is a bit disingenuous because accidents are not why people want gun control

"gun safety"
"gun sense"
"gun reform"
"common sense"

"Common sense" makes me rage

They use whatever they can do avoid saying "gun control"

the american public does not want to feel "controlled"

If you have to make a "Common Sense" law. YOU HAVE FAILED

It's been "common sense" for like 20 years now

If it was common sense, then why wasn't it done during the first "common sense" legislation?

"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." That means the people should have the TO&E for an individual Light Infantry trooper.

"well regulated"
it says well regulated so you have no right to keep and bear arms whatsoever, the militia is the government /s

Well regulated just means "well prepared"

IN military terms "Well Regulated" now means "Complete load out of Table of Orginazation and Equipment" (TO&E)

So I should have like

Plates and helm

and a full-auto capable rifle

Which seems pretty standard

with a 14.5 inch barrel no less

Everybody should be allowed to an an M4

back when the nfa was being challenged in court it was argued that short barreled shotguns were not in military use so the nfa was constitutional

now NFA items are used by the military all the time

Literally the Mk18 and short-barreled M870s are perfect examples

about 75% of the Swiss military is Militia Regiments, every member has their complete kit including their STG in their home.

A TO&E for a militia member should include a Moderine intermediate carbine (AR-15/ AKpattern or simular) web gear to carry at least 6 magazines, and a stock of ammo for the magazines

Right.

This solves the "but should every citizen be allowed to own nukes??" problem

ie. You can argue a reasonable limit

the most insane part of the NFA has to be the shot barreled rifles/shotguns part especially considering you can have handguns just fine
a long barrel is not required for many guns, for home defense(one of the biggest points of the 2nd amendment right now) a shorter barrel is ideal

iirc the NFA was originally going to have pistols too, the goal was to make any easy to conceal weapons hard to get
