what about collectors
|
Let them collect Tonka toys.
An interesting side argument is that lifting the ban on assault weapons actually helps terrorists planning attacks in America.

Hmm interesting, so as a state your dictating against what a person can collect, even a legitimate collector. Aren't you now impeding on several constitutional issues.
Don't get me wrong, I'm against people having active assault rifles in thier posesssion, I've seen what they can do, and how easy it is to do it with one.
The whole gun business is a pretty tight balancing act of the good of the people vs the good of the U.S. Constitution.
But the constitution was probably not written with an ak-47 with a laser scope in mind.
So the debate comes into play.
When do the limits of the constitution end and the good of the people begin?
On the whole terrorist planning cell looking at the common man having a machine gun, I don't know how that would come into play. Is there really planning involved? or do you just look at your guys and make them aware that somebody might stumble into thier action with a boozoka. I don't know if it would really make a difference.
