OBTW - if you're all about empowering citizens to one day rise up agin the gubment, then you would be better served to argue that Cletus should be able to build a nuke in his back yard if he wants to....there's a specific constitutional protection for citizens to keep and bear arms isn't there?
That's sorta the story, but not all of it. But, Cletus AND Bubba should be able to build a nuclear weapon - if they have the knowledge and the money.
The government limits that to non-assault weapons...but keeps assault weapons for itself doesn't it?
An "assault weapon", I believe, is a German invention. The US government at one time saw fit to over-react to a small group of loudmouths and banned certain types of guns. What you are referring to was the assault weapons ban (which Bush I signed into law, if I'm not mistaken) which banned guns based on how they looked (literally - no joke). It had a sunset, however, and is no more. The older ban isn't so much a ban as a restriction. To purchase certain types of guns and gun accessories (full autos, silencers, sawed-off shotguns) you must apply and pay for a tax stamp ($200 - couple years for processing). _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
