In reply to the discussion: Maryland's assault weapons ban upheld by US appeals court [View all]yagotme
(3,819 posts)50. "Off our streets".
Not banned, just "limiting" them from being outside the home. Ok. How do you purchase one, and bring it home? How do you practice with it, and learn how to properly handle/fire it, if you can't take it outside your home? Is there a certain number of times a year you can bring it out into the light? Who gets to proscribe this? It is basically a de-facto ban, as once it is in your home, it can never leave again, without a bunch of hoop-jumping. Or did they mean something else? If so, maybe they should have been a "little more clearer".

Your header, at least, was accurate- much of what you posted *was* rubbish

Still no evidence of these purported "conversion kits"- smells like Trump's 'wiretaps' to me.

"Reread what I wrote". I did- and the parts you bolded are *also* incorrect:

I'd like to see a citation of even one Senate/House "assault weapons ban" bill in the last ten years
