We have too many oppressive and unconstitutional gun laws in this country. The national firearms act of 1934 and the firearms owners protection act of 1986 are the absolute worst, and should be struck down!
The NFA of 1934 makes it a felony to own a short barrel rifle and even a suppressor, UNLESS you register your gun with the government and pay them a fat tax of $200 PER ITEM! It’s ridiculous, and does nothing to “protect” us, it’s simply another tax on the American people, and if you don’t have the money to pay it, you become a felon. So basically, it’s a law that targets poor people. Why should someone be deemed a felon simply because their barrel is 2 inches too short anyway? Why should we be felons for wanting to make our guns quieter and preserve our hearing? If anything, suppressors should be the standard! Imagine if everyone rode around town with no mufflers on their cars, that’d be a huge nuisance!
The FOPA of 1986 is ridiculous as well. It outright banned fully automatic firearms for civilian use, with the exception of guns made before the ban. So those old machine guns are still legal, but since they’re so rare and aren’t being made anymore, they’re extremely expensive and near impossible to own for the average citizen. There’s no logic behind banning guns simply because they have a high fire rate anyway. By that logic, you might as well ban semi automatics because you can still shoot them really fast. It’s an arbitrary restriction. No firearm should be banned because of its rate of fire.
There’s probably a few more that need to be repealed, but those 2 are the worst of the bunch, and there’s even more ridiculous restrictions in anti gun states such as California, like arbitrary magazine capacity limits, or even forcing guns to have traditional rifle stocks because pistol grips are too dangerous or something.
The language of the second amendment is clear, The right to bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED, and yet, it has been infringed greatly. It has been attacked and whittled down way too much over the past 100 years, so we ought to actually enforce the 2nd amendment and protect the right to bear arms as the founders intended. Repeal all unconstitutional gun laws and enforce it on a national level.
