Violates the constitution. Fail.Ban all weapons with semi or fully automatic firing systems. Such weapons belong in the hands of 'well regulated militias', not on the streets. Permit long barrel rifles and shotguns for sporting purposes. Permit revolvers. Ban handguns equipped with magazines holding more than nine rounds.
Does not prevent criminals from getting guns. Fail.
BZZZT Wrong!
There is no violation of the constitution limiting the kinds of weapons that can be sold. No one has a 2A right to an ICBM. Equally so they don't have a right to fully automatic weapons because they serve no legitimate civilian purpose. Large magazines are the same no one. No civilian needs more than 9 rounds for "self defense".
And yes, if those are banned then criminals aren't going to be able to buy them either.
What exactly is so magic about the number 9? Why is 9 ok and 10 isn't? Explain that logic to me.
