All three are equally vulgar transgressions of the sacred right to bear arms that was bestowed upon us by the Founders.

i voted the 86 ban, not even being able to buy new full autos even if you have a license is retarded and have collapsible stocks like the on benelli m4 and mag extensions.

Didn't the 89 import ban effectively outlaw more weapons than any other law?
It still pisses me off that GB could do that shit with a simple executive order... You don't even need to pass a law to rape the constitution.... |

Yes, that is true...but which one represents the greatest infringment on the second amendment? The 1934 GCA didn't really ban any guns, it made them more difficult to acquire. The 1968 GCA not only makes it more difficult for people to acquire guns (banning mail order and interstate sales), it also forbids certain classes of citizens from owning guns and completely bans some firearms. |

Non-sporting firearms were banned from importation by the 1968 GCA. The 1989 Bush Import Ban was simply a clarification of the 1968 GCA. |

To be honest with you, the 1934 NFA isn't too bad. It just says you have to pay a tax and wait a while. That I can deal with. The other two are the worst.

Wasn't '86 good for gunowners and FFLs for the most part, except for the full auto amendment ? Just asking for clarification, from what I understand it was a good bill otherwise.
ETA: '86 got screwed up on a questionable voice vote by the Democrat controlled congress if I understand right |

the 86 was a 90% win for our side and the benelli thing was a 1989 thing I don't remeber pre 68 but ammo was regulated and you were in danger of getting ran in for being a unlicensed dealer for private transfers prior to the 86 FOPA |

Yes. The 1986 bull (Firearm Owners Protection Act) did a number of good things. It allows you to buy long guns in any state (assuming the gun is legal in your home state) and made transporting guns across state lines no longer a nightmare. That being said, it still should not have been passed with the MG Ban intact.

yes deregulated ammo , and reigned in some out of line harassment of FFLs, also you were in danger of being a unlicensed dealer for private tranfers prior to 86 |

That right wasn't 'bestowed' upon us by ANY man. God gave it to us, the Founding Fathers just protected it.

Yes, it was. People were being prosecuted and harassed for legally traveling with leagally owned firearms in some jurisdictions prior to the 1986 FOPA. It was a good law and I support it despite the MG ban that was tacked onto it. That is why I distinguished the MG ban from the rest of the law. |

Right. I forget that shitbarge's name controlling the vote, but there was a voice vote that was dubious at best. Marked as passed, and the rest is history. |

I voted for the '68 ban. I don't like any of them, but that one set the stage for all the bullshit legislation to follow.
