Imminent threat to the 2nd amendment right now!

Uh, excuse me? YOU are the one who defined an assault weapon as a firearm that has a "continual burst" and now you say that "length of burst" is immaterial. What? What's the difference?

In a free society whose government is tasked with the responsibility to guarantee the right of its citizens to bear arms (something you don't enjoy in the UK), the question shouldn't be "What firearms would you allow?" but instead should be "What firearms wouldn't you allow?". I can't think of a reason under our Constitution to ban any firearms. If our citizens don't like the right to bear certain firearms (e.g., automatic weapons) then they need to change the Constitution. Fortunately, we can change our Constitution if we decide to do so, but that avenue should be the only way to limit our right to bear arms. No law, edict or executive order should be allowed to supersede the Constitution.

 

AR-15, assault weapon or personal defense weapon?
Answer: when government buys it, it’s “PDW”. If civilian buys it, it becomes assault weapon.
Homeland Security seeking to purchase 7,000 'assault rifles'
January 26, 2013
By: Joe Newby
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is seeking to purchase up to 7,000 “personal defense weapons” (PDW) -- the same rifles called "assault weapons" when owned by civilians, The Blaze reported Saturday.
The initial request was posted last June, but just recently came to light, Jason Howerton wrote.

Sure lets stick with your constitution then and allow the ownership of things like The M134 Minigun, Heckler & Koch MG4, Steyr AUG after all according to you there is no reason to ban any fierarm

 

Yes, I agree. Let's stick with the Constitution.

 

DOJ Memo: Outlaw and Confiscate All Guns

The National Rifle Association has obtained a Department of Justice memo calling for national gun registration and confiscation. The nine page “cursory summary” on current gun control initiatives was not officially released by the Obama administration.

The DOJ memo (downloadable here as a PDF) states the administration “believes that a gun ban will not work without mandatory gun confiscation,” according to the NRA, and thinks universal background checks “won’t work without requiring national gun registration.” Obama has yet to publicly support national registration or firearms confiscation, although the memo reveals his administration is moving in that direction.

The memo stands in stark contrast to the administration’s public stance on so-called gun control. White House spokesman Jay Carney said last month that laws proposed by Obama would not “take away a gun from a single law-abiding American.”

The NRA declined to explain how it obtained the document. The memo was written by the acting director of the Justice Department’s National Institute of Justice, Greg Ridgeway. It is dated January 4, two weeks before Obama mounted his attack on the Second Amendment following the Sandy Hook massacre. Ridgeway came to the Justice Department from the RAND corporation.
