Are knives arms?

I agree that your points are all valid. However, I also think we do have a handgun problem for the same reason we have an opioid crisis.

Like all publicly traded corporations, drug manufacturers and gun makers need to make higher and higher profits each quarter to keep their stockholders happy. This results in them flooding the country with their product. And when that happens, they are knowingly producing drugs and guns they know will end up in the wrong hands.

And they just don't give a fuck.

America's opioid crisis is not from legally manufactured, legally obtained, opioids. It's from back alley, made in Mexico and China, opioids and fentanyl. Kind of sounds like the gun crisis; those who use them legally are not the problem.

There's a reason why good old American pharma companies lost their asses in lawsuits. Because it was they who caused the opioid crisis. Not Mexicans or Muslims or homos or the Chinese or Democrats or the commies.

US companies created the problem and were stupid enough to document it. Third parties got involved to get in on the action.

No they lost because US Juries hate the big guys and always award against them.
 
No there isnt what a doctor proscribes is not the fault of pharma companies. And Doctors should have been prosecuted.
Doctors were misled. They were told by the pharma companies the opioids were not addictive.

Drugs which were designed for terminally ill cancer patients were being prescribed for tooth aches.
 
Anyway, I do not want to hijack this topic. Let's stick to knives.

As I said earlier, I don't think knives were on the minds of the Founders when writing the Second Amendment. It would have been totally inconceivable to them that anyone would want to regulate knives.

And yet here we are, with 10 states banning automatics and OTFs. I am asking if anyone knows if those bans have been challenged in court.
 
I don't know how old you are, but I am of an age that it was normal to see kids coming to school with rifles in gun racks in the back windows of their pickup trucks.

It's not the weapons that have changed.

It's us.
I also remember those days. Both have changed
 
Our God-given rights are not determined by NEED.

You don't NEED midget porn, either. But it is protected by the First Amendment.
You don't need much of anything, if you don't mind the unintended consequences. We have a situation in our country that needs to be corrected. Regulation is on the horizon.
 
I don't buy that for one second.
Then you are ignorant. Grapeshot are small projectiles often the size of grapes (hence the name) that turn a cannon into a large shotgun. Depending on the caliber of the gun, there can be anywhere from a hundred to over a thousand individual projectiles in one round. They were also famous for over-penetration meaning that each shot could kill or main multiple people. In the case of land-based artillery, the rounds were also designed for quick loading, being crude fixed rounds where the bag of shot came strapped to the bag of propellant. This was because the rounds were intended to be used at close range to defend the gun from attacking infantry, so rate of fire was an issue. Smooth bore cannon used ball or shell at long range, canister at medium range and grapeshot at close range.
