(35,701 posts)They are sometimes forbidden by homeowner associations, which isn't the same thing as being illegal. This has nothing to do with how I feel about people being to own AR-15 rifles, btw. I think they could be strictly regulated under the 2nd Amendment and would be in favor of that.

(35,701 posts)They can make contracts. Housing covenants are contracts. So if you break a contract you open yourself up to a lawsuit but you are in no danger of being arrested for breaking a law.

(45,319 posts)I get and agree with the point, that garden is the wrong picture to use, as it is in Canada where the gun laws are not the same as in the US.

(1,569 posts)so they are not illegal everywhere. I find it ridiculous that they are illegal anywhere, but once you let the government control what you do with your own property, it's only a matter of time before they make something you want to do on that property illegal. And I think your use of an AR-15 as a contrasting picture says a lot about you. Of course that gun should be legal. Using that picture is no different than using a picture of a newspaper with the caption legal. It is completely unnecessary.
