I already showed you, when you made this statement earlier that you were wrong.Misty » 08 Jun 2022, 10:22 pm » wrote: ↑ Much like the First Amendment, the Second Amendment is NOT unlimited.
There is no constitutionally protected right to own any kind of a weapon you want to.
Scalia said so in the Heller decision.
If that were the case then fully automatic weapons (machine guns) would be legal, and they are not.
We had an assault weapons ban in this country for ten years before it was allowed to expire.
It was never ruled unconstitutional.
Your own quote of Heller showed you were wrong. 25 million AR15s are "out there" in safe, legal use, making them "in common use".
Secondly, machine guns are legal. I can buy one today at a store just a few miles from my home. Are they heavily regulated? Yes. But they ARE legal.
The Assault Weapons ban was not ruled unConstitutional because it wasn't challenged.
I just showed you the liberal 9th Circuit court said an 18 year old prohibition IS unconstitutional.
