I am not sure what definition to when you use : common use" let alone claiming its a constitutional test for whether state or federal laws can ban certain types of weapons.
I am not aware of any law, state or federal that claims if a gun us commonly owned. used, or is popular that prevents it from being banned including the decisions you seem to refer to.
In fact there are weapons that are now banned as we speak in certain states but not others that could have been and could be used for common use.
When you use the term "common use" I wish to make clear to you your courts have not defined whether a gun is banned because of common (popular) use but because of the inherent nature of its kill potential.
So your continued statements are incorrect and I defer back to Savanah or anyone else you try claim wrong. I
If what you said is true, then the guns banned under the list I now present would not be banned:
Gun laws vary from state to state so it can be hard to know your rights. That is why we compiled a list of banned guns, ammo and accessories in each state.
Also while federal law does not ban AK's some states do and some heavily restrict their use:
What States Are AK-47s Legal In? AK-47s, or more accurately, semi-automatic variants of the AK-47 rifle, are generally legal to own under federal law in most states. However, state laws vary significantly, with some states heavily restricting or outright banning them. State-Specific AK-47...
In the United States, there is no federal ban on specific firearms. However, certain types of firearms, such as fully automatic weapons and certain modifications like bump stocks, have been heavily regulated and restricted by the National Firearms Act and other legislation. What is the National...
What weapons should be put on ban lists remains open to debate.
I personally believe any rapid fire weapon or weapon capable of being adjusted to rapid fire should not be sold to the public to protect the police and innocent people from mass shooters.
I defend anyone;s right to own a weapon if they agree to self regulate through a hunting or other non profit association or club licensed by a government and teaches people how to store and clean their weapons and stay up to date on maintaining them and making sure to use them with safety.
My issue is not with necessity hunters who grew up in rural areas having to hunt to eat. They are for the most part self regulated. My issue is with certain hunters who claim they need AK or rapid fire weapons to hunt. That for me is laziness and not genuine. There are plenty of other hunting weapons that can be used-they just don't want to develop the discipline to use them.
Also having had to live in a conflict zone and carry weapons I hate them. I hate hand guns. I respect people who own them and use them at gun clubs and store them there. I do not have confidence in any citizen with a hand gun at home. For the most part they are stored improperly leading to accidental death by being appropriated by a child or suicidal person or theft.
I think we need to always err on the side of safety in regards to children and not assume the average person handles a hand gun with accuracy or care and instead is more likely to kill themselves than an intruder.
Ne I absolutely argue on this forum that stricter gun registration laws are needed, gun manufacturers can and should put in tracking devices and more safety measures and there be far better psychiatric/psychological screening of potential gun owners.
I defer to what your American police departments and the ATF say on this subject I know people in the ATF. I respect what they say about what more can be done.
In Canada all our gun laws are federal and the current contraversy is the current ban list put on rifles that rural hunters need to be able to hunt with.
