“It is true that the vast majority of gun deaths in America are not a consequence of the use of an assault weapon, but that begs the issue of whether or not assault weapons have any utility.” ———— Joe Biden

We have the freedom of speech, but, clearly some speech is of no utility. Do we take away that particular speech because it is of no utility?
As to assault weapons, they have a utility.
In order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: … A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. —- (preamble to the Bill of Rights and the 2nd Amendment)

They have taken away my right to posses a Muffler for my weapons to protect my hearing. They do not allow me to carry a shoulder fired weapon with less than a 16 inch barrel. They have already restricted many of the rights that were promised in the second amendment.

They want items registered and taxed and that amounts to Infringement on the right to keep and bear arms.
Agreed. Especially seeing that our 2nd amendment was explicitly stated as to prevent the government from abusing its power.
This is the minimum needed for personal defense:

I once owned the PS90 and liked it, but the effective distance was to short when I lived on the farm. The ex still has one.

This is one that I did carry around the property

Eventually, the abortion rights activist will declare that postpartum abortion is not only legal, but morally imperative for the Joe Bidens.
Following liberal logic, pencils cause spelling errors. Ban them!!!
