I get around a lot of places where guns are used publicly, and I'll have to totally agree. I have one gun that needed to be made 922 compliant. Bought a tiny baggy of an o-ring, screws, and a circlip. Changed them out and I'm totally legal.I'd specifically like to see how many actual convictions on 922r compliance there have been since inception. Once the country finds out how few there are on the books, it should be a lot easier to repeal. As a matter of fact, I think every law with criminal or civil penalties should require a 5 year review. If it's not serving the public need it was alleged to address, it should expire and any conditions that did occur, should be reviewed for reversal.
“Hollis next argues that the Second Amendment is what protects ‘the Right of the People to alter or abolish’ a government that becomes destructive of the people’s rights,” Southwick stated in her opinion. “Hollis seeks equality between the people and the Government so that those seeking to abolish the government will have a fair chance. But self-defense, not revolution, ‘is the central component of the Second Amendment.”
The judges concluded that the Second Amendment was meant to protect the individual right to protect “hearth and home,” rather than guaranteeing the right to own specific firearms.
Oh no! Now they may ban machine guns!
Considering the ridiculous prices for a "legal" machine gun, they are already, in effect, banned from the average citizen.
