Another weapons system without legitimate civilian uses
So who defines legitimate civilian use?
I don't recall seeing anything about legitimate civilian use in the 2nd amendment.
I could argue we censor TV news/ Political adds, TV is much to dangerous, free speech should not apply to TV, freedom of the press (printing was all that was available at the time) ok, TV No.
1 person speaking=single shot rifle, Printing press=lever action rifle, TV=Fully auto weapon crew served weapon, so ban regulate TV, TV is much to dangerous
Once we take care of some of the other dangerous things we then need to ban any political party that has different views than the one in power,
they are dangerous, so they must be banned, ditto with religion, dangerous religion, not the one of the people in power, needs to be banned.
Lots of people killed by cell phones, edit- far more than as killed by AR15s, so maybe we need to ban cell phones
- In 2013, 3,154 people were killed in distraction-related crashes.
- About 424,000 people were injured in crashes involving a distracted driver.
- In 2013, 10% of all drivers ages 15 to 19 involved in fatal accidents were reported to be distracted at the time of the crash.
2018
26 percent of all motor vehicle crashes are related to the use of cell phones. Each day,
11 teens die in crashes caused by texting and driving. 2.35 million people in the US are injured or disabled by car crashes every year. More than 330,000 of these crashes that cause severe injury are caused by texting and driving.Jun 14, 2018
I see no push to ban cell phones......
For sure no cell phones until you are 21.....same logic some States use for firearms....
Special Cell phone safety card (tax)
10 day waiting period for cell phones
No cell phone batteries that last longer than 10 minutes (911 call should take less than 10 minutes 911 call now determined to be the only legitimate use for cell phones)
Limited to 10 text messages per day......
I would think most people would say the cell phone stuff above is bovine excrement, but 1/2 of them would say it's fine applied to firearms....
About 15,000 gun deaths in 2018, about 28,500 injuries, so I would say cell phones are much larger problem that needs to be addressed first.
(maybe do away with cars while we are at it, lots of car deaths)

There are laws against Texting and driving but they don't work so the answer is to ban cell phones, right?, Simple fix.
Sorry if this is sort of off thread for legal.
