21. No nuclear weapons...
Wed Mar 11, 2020, 04:09 AM
Mar 2020

Government agencies operating domestically have been exempt from every gun ban going back to the beginning, and still in force from the NFA forward.

That's always been the problem, that blatant violation of the letter and the spirit of the Constitution so law enforcement could have its suppressed full auto SBRs and incendiaries, maybe the odd armed APV. If it hadn't been for those exemptions we would have settled what were and were not reasonable restrictions on defensive weaponry 80 years ago. It's not a difficult thing.

Now there aren't hundreds of millions of magazines in the US, there are billions of them. All these technical regulations have ever done is put law abiding people in legal jeopardy...and sell a lot of weapons.

Oh yeah, and lose some very critical elections. The last federal AWB gave us Gingrich and W, how many lives did that cost?
