Your post was a great example of why you, and 'we' all lose by conceding that it is 'reasonable' to ban machine guns, then argue against 'regulating' semi-autos that function the same if the trigger is pulled fast enough..

The gungrabbers play 'gottcha' on logic, and win.


They have won in CA to all intents/purposes..
It is doubtful that the USSC will even hear the 9th Circuits 'collective right' BS, and even Bush/Ashcroft agree that prohibitive 'regulations', as above, are constitutional.

- We are losing our RKBA's in a battle of a thousand cuts..

True enough. I agree that it should not be a logic battle between full auto and semi auto or any battle about cosmetic appearance. "Shall not be infringed" is absolute.

Realistically though, do you really think we can win by taking a stand that all restrictions including NFA are unconstitutional? While it's undoubtedly true, don't you think that claiming that full auto/semi auto makes no difference will lose us ground as the screaming libs shake the soccer moms crying "now they want to put machine guns on the streets!"

I am only interested in keeping and expanding our RKBA.
