Trade ban on any automatic weapons, conversions, or parts, with national recognition of our CCW permits. Treat them like drivers licenses. That’d be a fair trade. Even better with stats that show CCW permit holders commit less crime than cops. Lawful carry is careful carry, good citizens, protected citizens.
NO WAY!
The entire 1934 National Firearms Act is unconstitutional.
Understand that the Founders wanted the militia - average, ordinary citizens - to be as well armed as the standing army (which they wanted to be small, to avoid tyranny). Evidence of this can be found in the body of the Constitution, where Congress was given the power in Article 1, Section 8 to issue “Letters of Marque and Reprisal.” Those are, to put a not-so-fine point on it, basically Congressional permission to be a pirate - to raid enemy shipping (including their naval vessels), kill however many people you need to, and keep what you can carry away. Well, how in the Hell do you - as a civilian - attack enemy merchant and (especially) naval vessels without crew-served cannon? Such weapons are NOW (thanks to the ‘34 NFA) treated as “destructive devices” (as is each individual round of ammunition) - so it is CLEARLY unconstitutional.
And you would give up part of our rights PERMANENTLY (because now people CAN buy pre-1986 full autos), in exchange for them LETTING us carry the means of self-protection in any state. This ALSO is part of the 2nd Amendment - the “bear” part of “keep and bear.”
You are effectively proposing to cut off your left hand, so that they only take your right hand, and not your right arm up past the elbow. Your policy recommendation is absolutely defeatist, and it plays right into the hands of people like Schumer, Feinstein, Obama, Clinton, etc.
Again, NO WAY! NO F’ING WAY!
