I think that "assault weapons" are basically just offensive to many people's aesthetic sensibilities. What makes an assault rifle different from any other rifle is that it looks bad-ass. I think that they should (with the smaller magazine capacity) be permitted as a 1st amendment thing instead of a 2nd amendment thing.
- Cushman 14y agoThat's... really interesting, actually. Has that argument been heard in any court, do you know?
- MartinCron 14y agoI really don't think so. I've definitely never heard of it, but I'm just a casual observer.
- hga 14y agoWell, something akin was tried when the Massachusetts "assault weapons" ban prohibited the use of targets in the likeness of people. So someone printed up targets with Adolph Hitler's image; the Supreme Court denied the request to take the case (http://www.stephenhalbrook.com/lawsuits.html http://www.stephenhalbrook.com/lawsuits.html).
