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
and then you're allowed to just ignore the NFA when it comes to stuff like the c96 with a stock or the tankgewehr(destructive device)

Also
People bring full-sized ARs into classrooms to fire at people width
People don't need it to be shorter in order to hurt people
The idea is that a "Handgun" as per the NFA is meant to be a one handed firearm for use in close for protection, a legitimate use. Things like the C96 where you stuck a stock on them meant they became Pistol Caliber Carbines... but all the oldies like the C96 are on the Except roster
Didn't the vegas dude use 20" barrel ARs?
Literally find me the incident where people used SBRs
i'm sure non sbrs are used for mass shootings because they're easier to buy, you could chop off the barrel but there's no real advantage to be had for doing that
plus there's the gas system and threaded barrel to worry about
The only SBRs used in crimes have been unregistered use by criminals who chopjobed them by themselves
or put a stock on a "pistol" probably
Not even that @Grovyle
All the stock kicks for hand guns now a days have "This is an NFA Item" on the box
Gross
I mean those braces are great
and should actually be a good example of "stocks" not being an issue
I use a cane and the PDW Pistol Brace is useful to me to get more control for using the firearm as a pistol while I use the cane in the other hand
