60. Do you support repealing some laws?

Another aspect of real discussion involves the pro control side acknowledging there are ridiculous laws that do nothing and are not enforced due to their stupidity. Are there any laws that you are aware of that you feel should be repealed?

For discussion, I offer USC 922 r.

This little nugget is the height of absurdity.

922 r as I understand it says owning a foreign made semi auto gun is acceptable. However, if any parts are replaced, originals must be used. Using non original parts is a felony. An exception is made if you use 10 or more US made replacement parts, and then all is fine and dandy. There have been zero convictions and as far as I know, zero prosecutions under this law since it was enacted in the 1990s.

If you can justify exactly what this law does, and why its a crime to use 1 to 9 USA made replacement parts but 10 or more is ok, I'd love to hear it.

If you can't, would you be in support of repealing a law that you can't justify as part of a process of compromise?

922 R
