Assault Weapons Ban

[Lunar]

Let it expire.

If I want to have an AK47 in my house or shoot it at a gun range, then I should be allowed to.  If I start shooting at my neighbors, I shouldn't.

While I'm against this ban and do not want the government reuglating our right to own guns (or do hard drugs, run casinos, etc.), I'm interested in what you guys think of where the line should be drawn.  Obviously we can't let people have nuclear weapons in their houses, so there has to be an arbitrary line drawn somewhere.

Is the line drawn on explosive weapons or what?

I agree that you shouldn't be allowed to own armies with tanks and nukes, lol.

But I think automatics are okay as long as they're kept securely at home. Semiautomatics should also be legal, of course.

In regards to explosives...how big of explosives? I mean, some of the older fireworks would fall under that category.

Heh, a lot of those old fireworks ARE illegal.

Yes, I agree automatics should be legal. Basically, what I mean by explosives is anything that could really kill a person.  It seems an easy line to draw.  You can't have grenade launchers, missiles, dynamite, etc. in your possession.  I'm just curious where everyone thinks this line should exist, not quite sure myself.
