All the definitions are pretty similar. None of them say "anything can be an assault weapon"At the very beginning it says that the definition varies by jurisdiction. Yes, it goes on to give a general idea, but still no definition that has been accepted EVERYWHERE.
Actually, I have seen some sheriffs say that they would NOT enforce certain gun regulations.
there's lots of kangaroos there, too.I wish there was a continent where people were as happy and prosperous as we are in the USA but didn't have mass shootings every other day. -
The reason for the question is that some folks posting here think that guns should not ever be banned.Currently, they've been pretty much illegal since 1934. To get one would cost a person tens of thousands of dollars, and they would be very old because they're not even allowed to be manufactured anymore, except for the military. Correct me if I'm wrong about this.
I did not say that a definition would actually say that, but no item on itself can be dangerous without some force acting upon it and anything can be dangerous if abused or placed in the wrong hands.All the definitions are pretty similar. None of them say "anything can be an assault weapon"
No. But try killing someone with a spoon sometime.
Again, try killing someone with a spoon some time.I did not say that a definition would actually say that, but no item on itself can be dangerous without some force acting upon it and anything can be dangerous if abused or placed in the wrong hands.
How exactly do you define assault weapons ANYTHING can be used as an assault weapon and I do mean ANYTHING.
I wish there was a continent where people were as happy and prosperous as we are in the USA but didn't have mass shootings every other day. I can imagine that imaginary continent. In my imagination it has countries in it like "Britain", "Norway", "Sweden", --sorry, I just made those silly names up! --
Depends on where they live. I know around here the sheriff is elected not otherwise hired, so rather or not they would be fired would depend on how the voters in that particular jurisdition felt about the issue.I'm sure there are. If sheriffs do not enforce laws agains machine guns, they should fired. If people are injured because of their negligence, they can be sued.
bingo but there needs to be a definition that is the same everywhere ( which is at the moment not the case.IMHO, you're being silly. All you had to do was to look up the last federal law on the subject. This law was upheld several times in the Supreme Court. To directly answer your question, legislators have to define "assault weapons" in order to regulate them, just as they had to define machine guns or automatic weapons.

Well, the point is that the more you regulate the easier it will be to allow them to regulate more.LET"S BE CLEAR
Congress can ban certain guns. Congress had banned certain guns. Certain guns are illegal now. The Supreme Court has upheld federal laws banning certain guns, and has also upheld las regulating guns.
All this nonsense about knives is just that, nonsense. Folks here can argue that ALL gun ownership should be protected. That is NOT the law in the US.

Check the tax rates on those countries. Government does so much for the people there that the people can no longer afford to do much for themselves. Safety and security isn't everything.
Oh yeah and there's that other magical made-up continent where the "Kangaroos" live!
The world is full of imaginary places! But we need to stop thinking about unicorns and Europeans and Australians and remember the only countries with strict gun control laws are invariably repressive dictatorships.
If someone thinks a country other than the USA is safer and better in all the ways they value, then nothing stops them from moving there.
In the meantime, people who value freedom along with the risks involved will stay right here in America.
Freedom comes with a price.
