At least in MA, but I’d surmise in most if not all states, ballot questions must be researched and approved by their Secretary of State and/or AG for Constitutionality.
As lieberal and progressive as MA is, and as anti-2A as it is, I don’t think a ballot question would be approved here. Although, our AG is an outright unabashed leftist.
the commie-nazi types always try to disarm the people they plan to enslave (or murder)
all over the world, throughout history
but in USA, the people are wise to this fact
and will not cooperate
(as did so many poor Russians in the Soviet Union and Jews in Europe, etc ....etc etc)
so all these gun-grabbing efforts are for naught
even if they all were to magically get adopted,enacted,whatever
What we need is “smart guns” that require an activation code to fire a shot. The activation code can be attained through email from local authorities once you notify them that a life threatening situation has occurred.
They need to ban bathtubs, while they are at it. Many people fall and injure themselves in tubs.
Nonsense.
When you need a gun, you need one, you can’t wait and try to remember some code.
You don’t have to wait if you have a decoder ring!
And forty years ago, the anti-gun forces saw promise of banning handguns in FLA. “Rifles will not be affected!”
But that was forty years ago.
Here’s the benefit: while you’re waiting for your activation code, you’ll have time to psychoanalyze your assailant and tell him his violent tendencies were probably a result of Trump winning the election. Most likely that diffuse the situation without bloodshed.
According to Obama we can buy machine guns over the Internet....
Let’s pass a law to fix that first...
Oh’ Wait.....
I did think you were kidding, but on the other hand, you never know... LOL
Which make them that much more dangerous. More dangerous than a bump stock.
“any weapon which fires a single projectile or a number of ball shots through a rifled or smooth bore for each single function of the trigger without further manual action”
This description of a semi-auto would
technically encompass some Co2 BB guns
as well.
Whooosh.
I retract my Whooosh.
This law would be knocked down by the SC, assuming the next dem president doesn’t pack the SC with leftists.
Useless and unenforcible.
It depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
If you are trying to reduce the number of mass murder by shooting, yes.
If you are trying to disarm the population, not necessarily.
Gradually making something illegal, over generations, has worked in some cultures, in some countries.
Hey liberals, an assault weapon is ANYTHING that could be used to injure someone, such as a car, gun, knife or a tree branch? Even a frozen pork chop could be used as a weapon!! Shall we ban baseball bats and lumber?
I believe all anti-gun nuts should be escorted to the border or to a plane taking them from this country so they can live the rest of their lives in some craphole country that doesn’t allow you to defend yourself from mortal enemies - like democrats and Muslims.
Naturally they will be given a one day passport so they can enter their favorite craphole but never return.
