Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Stephen King's comment on semi-automatics.. [View all]jimmy the one
(2,708 posts)straw man: So let's see: a license is required, registration is required, there is a very strict ammunition capacity limit, but there are no restrictions. Does that about sum up your rather absurd position?
I need remind you what I originally responded to by shamash: Much like .. Michael "rights for me but not for thee" Bloomberg and his coterie of semi-auto equipped bodyguards.
In context, semi auto rifles & longguns are more freely allowed in NYC (than handguns), to counter shamash's implication that Bloomberg disallowed semi-autos in NYC. You have turned this into a red herring about 'purchasing restrictions' vs 'firearm restrictions'.
I also think ordinary citizens can hire bodyguards.
straw man: So a restriction on what type of gun can be bought is not a restriction on buying?
Go away; as long as the semi-auto rifle is legal it can be bought in NYC upon producing license & registration. Stop trying to twist what I wrote into your gunnutted contradiction.
straw man: The restriction is on "clips and magazines" as well as on rifles with a fixed magazine, in other words, one that is "inherent in the gun itself."
.. to differentiate between detachable clip limitations, duh.
