"And so it would seem as though the courts would probably rule against something banning the AK-47, the AR-15s. And a mandatory buyback program would seem to be deemed unconstitutional, and as late as 2016, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals also included assault rifles to be part of the arms that are protected by the Second Amendment. So how would you be able to get around that?"

Trouble is, SCOTUS has declined to hear appeals of Assault Weapon Bans in Maryland and Illinois, so we don't really know if the Supreme Court would strike down an AR and AK ban.

“Trouble is, SCOTUS has declined to hear appeals of Assault Weapon Bans in Maryland and Illinois, so we don’t really know if the Supreme Court would strike down an AR and AK ban.”

Could be that the the execrable supreme court has decided that the states can set parameters on which battle rifles are permissible in each state.

That would mean that weenie, liberal states have less firepower, while conservative states are heavily armed and can blow leftists out of the water.

Just a thought.
