Felons? Courtrooms? Brandishing?
I mean, I support a very broad 50 state right, but "any state restriction?"
Good points; I should have been more specific. Courtroom restrictions are different, and I am okay with banning firearms in specific government buildings where justified. Felons should have all their rights (including guns and voting) restored once they are no longer in prison, on probation, or on parole. Using firearms in a threatening manner should be illegal.
What I meant mainly was there should be no restrictions on the ownership or general carry of firearms that are legal anywhere in the country, on silencers, on magazine size, or on ammo. I’m okay with adding 10-20 years to prison sentences when using firearms in another crime, but not with making firearms by themselves a crime.
It’s already against the law for shooting somebody for reasons past self defense as is pointing a gun at somebody and even just brandishing a weapon.
Yes.
Felons who can’t be trusted on the streets with guns— can’t be trusted on the streets.
Courtrooms full of armed people would be as dangerous as Gun Stores and Gun Shows full of armed people.
“Brandishing” is CONDUCT. Like “murder” is CONDUCT, not an unconstitutional restriction on ownership (”keeping”) and carrying (”bearing”).
Then there’s this:
“Brandishing” laws sound cool until you realize that you can be “guilty” under them if someone sees the item’s outline under your clothes. Makes as much sense as “drunk driving” laws which scoop up people sleeping it off in the back seats of their parked cars. I was shocked when I heard that’s a real thing.
