The supreme court today handed out the biggest tell-tale sign that they SUPPORT gun control measures at the state level. In the HELLER V DC case, the majority ruling opinion by justice scalia indicated that the states could ban guns and weapon types as this was NOT PROTECTED by the second amendment.
Today, the scotus backed that up.
So, coming to a state near you soon... Assault style weapons BANNED for private gun ownership.
Supreme Court rejects challenge to state assault weapon bans
TOS.
p.s. and just to head off the stupid retorts.. when i say "coming", I mean, now that the scotus has allowed the bans on these weapons in new york and connecticut, look for other states to pass similiar laws and those challenges cancelled out. The power of the NRA was weakened today.
