@@gunsgamesgadgetschannel863That’s not really true, around the time of the NFA there was the battle of Athens Tennessee. People revolted over ballot boxes, it’s highly likely they concealed the passing of the NFA to prevent a revolution as communications weren’t then what they are now. It’s the same scenario with 1968 and 86 bans. The 94 ban was pushed to see if they could successfully ban firearms but they haven’t been able to get another ban to pass because their guise of crime prevention and safety showed their bans for what they are.. which is civilian disarmament. Now the political climate is so hostile we are on the edge of a full scale civil war. Nobody trusts the government and people are disgusted with their federal regulations on firearms.

The problem is that the politicians KNOW that their gun control laws post-Bruen are unconstitutional, but they will pass the laws regardless, because they also know it will take YEARS in court to snuff it out. Voting out those politicians is a significant factor in repealing ANY gun control laws. "When you remove the thorn in your toe, you can walk forward in comfort and with purpose."

[@nil981]

There's three additional policies that could make all those problems go away: Courts on the local, state, and federal level should be barred from taking on cases involving the misuse of firearms and or deceptive or malicious marketing or firearms as per the PLAACA act. This would end the lawfare that anti-2a groups constantly wage. Make it so that states and localities cannot make and enforce their own gun laws. The right to keep and bear arms shouldn't end at state borders. Any attempts to circumvent this should be punished severely. Pass a law that essentially makes it so that elected officials at each level of government can be recalled for proposing unconstitutional laws and tried for sedition which would result in 25 years in prison or the death penalty depending on the severity and scope of the proposal.

I believe that a KEY thing we need to do is to achieve a better public understanding of guns and violence. The core understanding has to be the very old NRA saw: guns don't kill people, people kill people. People need to understand the INCREDIBLY POOR correlation between guns and murder rates, and the NEARLY PERFECT correlation between murder rates and the very obvious and simple proportion of people in a population who WANT to kill others. The standard falsification example of gun laws and murder rates is Jamaica vs the UK. They have the SAME laws, while Jamaica is always at or near the top of murder rates, while the UK is always near the bottom.

Education is great but no laws are constitutional if they are based on interest balancing, history and text of the second amendment is the only thing that should be considered, if there was no laws in the text of the second amendment before 1791 that are identical in meaning to a new law then it is unconstitutional

(I believe the NFA and GCA should be abolished, that being said this is for argument sake). If one were to "normalize" machine-guns, the 1986 limitations would need to be removed. I think this could be argued as a ban seeing that no more can be produced for civilian market, effectively eliminating ownership. When there is a demand and the limiting factor is supply they ARE preventing/banning ownership to the people past the limited number of supply, and it's not because they can't keep up with production demands, its because they have been 'banned' from making them for the public and this is where we could argue in court that we are being infringed upon. Once again, get rid of the 1986 rule and machine-guns will/could become "normalized".

One detail about "common use". I think the argument really needs to be prepared that the government has no special right to *any* commonly used weapon *above and beyond the people.* That is, whatever *weapon* is in common use (by anyone) is clearly protected. Also, the common use doctrine is bogus to begin with. A weapon isn't subject to regulation just because it's "unusual". "Dangerous and unusual" isn't halfway satisfied by every weapon that exists. The only logical interpretation of "dangerous weapon" means something *inherently* dangerous. Not dangerous by nature of its designed operation, but by unintended consequences. A trap gun is dangerous, a properly designed handgun is not. Weapons are "dangerous", but basically no modern firearms are "dangerous weapons" in a proper legal context.
