    Nice right-wing talking point.

    Every single piece of legislation addressing ‘assault-style’ weapons specifies what is and is not allowed, such as magazine and barrel size limits.

          Where is your well regulated militia uniform? What base do you operate out of? Can I see your military ID card? What rank do you hold? Who is your commanding officer?

            Did minutemen wear uniforms? Did they have bases? Did they have IDs? Ranks? Commanding officers?

            Even if they didn’t, the 2nd amendment requires none of this. Lol.

            Also, can you name any of the firearms that I mentioned that do not exhibit the two or more of the listed traits? That would immediately prove your argument about assault weapon legislation not having specifics metrics.

              Yes. Even today the uniforms of West Point are based on the colonial army officer uniforms.

              Well regulated militia. Not there by accident.

              Ask your commanding officer.

          The features specified have nothing to do with how lethal a firearm is, that’s my point. It’s purely cosmetic bullshit.
