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.



If assault weapons are banned, then the rights of the collector aren't being infringed upon.

Gotcha.

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.


Correct me if I'm wrong - and I might be - but the USA constitution only gives testimony to the right of a citizen to "bear arms." That means I could collect howitzers if I wanted to. Obviously, someone might get a little jumpy if I did so.

There's nothing in the USA constitution that says anyone has the right to collect assault guns or even possess them.
