Common Use

[prepare]

With so many AR type rifles having already been sold, continuing to being sold, and owned, does "common use" have any significant impact on passing future restrictions?

Common use should cause DDs, sbrs and machineguns to be removed from the nfa.
Both are extremely common and the standard rifle for militaries world-wide.

Can't be in common use if banned.

Much like the term I/we/they won't disarm law abiding citizens. If it is illegal then citizens are no longer law abiding.

You think reality matters to people working in shifts to kerp you fat, weak, ignorant, disarmed, and voiceless?

What Firefly said.

ARs are 100% in common use, it's not even debatable among rational people, but have you noticed what insanity becomes doctrine on the left these days?

My question was does common use have any bearing on restrictions?

Some BS precedent set by the supreme court iirc. You cant ban stuff in common use, but the government says **** the constitution, we’ll ban what we want.

Imo it was a weak move by the SC to look like they were “keeping the other branches in check.”

It’s still flawed logic. Since common use constraints permit pre-emptive banning of of widgets that otherwise simply haven’t proliferated due to tech advancements or whatever.

Why is it half the country just wants to chill after a hard day’s work, make love to their GF/power bottom, play retro video games, raise children, and live life while the other half is almost demanding guys to put on tiger stripes with necklaces made from the ears of communist heathens or don Hawaiian shirts, cook white MC booty shorts and NODs and not even boogaloo, not even hootenanny, but go full on Box Social with pyres of dead illuminating the night’s sky?


Like I’m good either way, I just wanna know why

Several instances in DC v. Heller

"We also recognize another important limitation on the right to keep and carry arms. Miller said, as we have explained, that the sorts of weapons protected were those “in common use at the time.” 307 U. S., at 179. We think
that limitation is fairly supported by the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of “dangerous and unusual weapons.” "
