Full-auto isn’t banned? Are you sure you know what laws are needed if you don’t know the current laws?
Nothing tells you exactly how much a person knows about guns than them suggesting a law.
Also have them define assault weapon, that usually shows exactly how much thought they put into it.
Also ask them to define the AR in AR-15… Usually telling
Fully automatic firearms are not banned in all states but heavily regulated. They are used in basically no crimes though because of extensive background checks, registration process, and cost. A really shitty one is several thousand dollars, one that someone would actually desire is tens of thousands.
Legal full-auto access is mostly not a thing due to cost. There is a partial ban in that new full-auto can’t be imported or manufactured for civilians. That directly affects the cost and thus only available for the rich or companies with the cash and paperwork.
it’s not, but I did mean semi-auto
Legal full auto is effectively banned for the commoners. The only ones legally available are ones that were in civilian hands when partial bans went into effect. It’s as banned an AWB with grandfathering would be a banning things.
A ban and confiscation of semi-autos would be on a vast majority of firearms. Certainly a vast majority of modern firearms and commonly owned firearms. There is a good chance if a person only owns one firearm it’s a semi-auto. Especially today when the most common reasons for ownership include self-defense. Then people would just buy lever actions and revolvers as the next best thing. Actual criminals before such a law would continue not following laws after. And then there is home manufacturing which gets easier everyday.
Yeah, lot harder to mass murder with lever action. And you still get to hunt, and defend yourself, but folks will be a lot less likely to commit armed robbery in the first place without a semi auto.
Also youve got a fantasy world in your head where criminals are hiding out in their hidden crime bunkers and going to criminal store to get equipped with illegal weapons. No, most weapons for crimes are obtained legally and all of this is way less organized than you think.
I don’t care about hunting. Crimes were done without the things you want to ban and would continue after.
Criminals would get things they need from Home Depot and computer type stores. It doesn’t take as specialized equipment as you think. Also straw purchases and a black market is a thing. Criminals with a record aren’t obtaining them from an FFL.
No, crimes are definitely committed with semi automatic guns
