"Assault Weapons Is a Redundant Term"
| The ban itself is unconstitutional, sir. It violates the second amendment. The key term here is ''shall not be infringed.'' It would also violate the spirit of the fourth amendment, which provides ''the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures'' of an item already guaranteed to be protected under the second amendment. It can also be argued that the ninth amendment may come into play here, sir, in that although the second amendment doesn't specifically denote assault weapons, that lack does not deny or disparage the right of people to own them. From a historical perspective, during the Revolutionary War, the long musket could indeed be viewed as an assault weapon. |
