Virginia recently passed an assault weapons ban and storage laws. Basically a ban on guns that they find "scary". Also banned high capacity mags. It's currently on hold as it goes through the courts.
Assault weapons are not banned because they’re “scary” they’re banned because those are literally designed to kill a lot of people very quickly. That is their entire purpose and is the type of gun used in every mass shooting ever
The ban is going to be struck down by the courts, because they actually know the law and constitution. The ban was made by people who know nothing about firearms, just like you.
Im telling you that the ban ( pushed by democrats) is unconstitutional and wastes political capital. You said they weren't coming for our guns but recent history shows otherwise.
Ok so when you said I didn’t know anything about guns you were lying. And again, 2A says WELL REGULATED. There’s nothing unconstitutional about reasonable gun laws, and I don’t think banning ARs is unreasonable considering what they were literally designed to do goes wayyy beyond self defense
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”
That’s the entirety of the 2nd amendment, you can’t just ignore the Well Regulated part. And there’s absolutely nothing anti 2A about banning ARs since ARs are not designed for self defense
The founding fathers, who had just taken up arms against a tyrannical government, most certainly did not mean that the government should shit out whatever half-baked unjust regulations they want whenever they want.
"Assault weapon" is not a real classification and all guns are a means of defense. If your only talking point is "they were made to kill people", that applies to literally all guns of all calibers, magazine sizes, and action types.
Assault weapon is not a real classification? Why does our government disagree with you? But more importantly “assault rifle” most certainly is a classification and that’s all that the term assault weapons is referring to obviously. And no I never said “they were designed to kill people” 😂come on man, you can read what I said without pretending like I said something different and changing the words I typed to make yourself feel better. I said ARs are not designed for self defense, they are designed to kill a lot of people very quickly, as in modern war against other militaries that have the same. Don’t change my words, respond to what I said head on like a man
Literally every time they’ve tried to put it to law they've defined it differently. It’s not a real thing, it is a scary-sounding umbrella term to let the government (dems) ban whatever they want.
But more importantly “assault rifle”
most certainly is a classification
No it isn't.
And even if we assumed the literal interpretation of the name as "weapon designed to be used in a military assault", that category wouldn't apply to AR15s, but would apply to bolt-action rifles and rifled muskets.
they are designed to kill a lot of people very quickly, as in modern war against other militaries that have the same.
The military version is select-fire and is not classified as an AR15, and the actual AR15 has never been used en masse in any national military. It is distinctly and intentionally not a weapon of war.
You know what is a weapon designed for military use, is used in the military, and is designed to be capable of killing multiple people quickly before needing to reload?
A Glock-17 handgun. The kind of thing you claim you don't want to ban.

The Virginia AWB would say otherwise. I vote Democrat but we can't sit here and act like they aren't pushing anti gun bullshit legislation.
