I agree. 

As I posted in the other thread about this "I was just in KC a few weeks ago and remember hearing on the local news any new “assault” weapon bans within the state don’t have much traction even with Democrats."  It is just a waste of time and resources.

There are 52 DEMs and 109 REPUBs in the MO State legislature.    I'd wager that a bill  that extreme won''t pass.   Even  if it did it would be in direct violation  of the SCOTUS ruling of June 5 2008 which validated the claim that the  2A applies to  individuals, not "military", and several lawsuits would result.   The last ruling from SCOTUS was 5-4, which is  close.  One person can switch it.   Several  of the judges are old and/or in limited health.   And,  "accidents' can happen, which  would give the Pres an opportunity to stuff the court with Leftists.   If that happens, and they nullify the 2A,  there will be either  a voter revolution or a shooting one.

However, a majority of lawmakers probably will accept the idea that the 2A is not absolute.   Just like yelling "fire!" in a crowded theater when no such fire exists is not protected by the 1A, they will probably allow limits to 2A such as  magazine sizes.   But, I would be surprised if "scary weapon" restrictions are passed.

That is what they were saying in NY state a month or so ago.  Then one morning, they woke up to the new guns laws they have now.

We can wake up now, or wake up after Hagel and others get through with us.
