...each assault weapon has such a high rate of fire and capacity for firepower that its function as a legitimate sports or recreational firearm is substantially outweighed by the danger...

Anyone want to bet the idiot is talking about semi-auto.

It’s something like talented spook-writer and lefty avatar Stephen King raving about guns: the automatic weapon capable of firing hundreds of rounds a second, or the revolver (most recently in “Dr. Sleep”, a Glock) that is being handled by the character like a live rattlesnake, but don’t worry: “The safety is on.”

******************************************
That’s a quote from the “law” ,, the law is an ass in this case ... if taken logically it is talking about the firearms rate of fire... since only a fully auto rifle has it’s own “rate of fire” it is a self defeating argument against any semi-auto ... my M1 for instance has a “rate of fire” averaging one shot every 3 months... since I just don’t go hunting that much.. then you go on to the clearly unconstitutional restriction based on intended use...

As someone else posted, and I’m sure you know, semi-auto weapons don’t have a “rate of fire” at all.

So just what is he talking about, and how would it ever hold up in a decent court if these are semi-auto rifles?

How will a court get past a defense exhibit of any other ordinary semi-auto gun and it’s “rate of fire”?
