I am a gun owner, a CCW permit holder, an airborne infantryman for 12 years active duty, quite comfortable with weapons, their use, and their results.
There is no constitutional protection for civilians with military type weapons.
The automatic action and magazine capacity are the issues.
Certain weapons are not the single shot weapons about which the Founders were concerned.
bigrebnc has repeatedly proved that the laws of the land prevent the militias from owning military-style weapons.
Why, Jake? Why should semi-automatics be an 'issue'? For that matter, why should full autos be an 'issue'? Gun laws only stop honest citizens from owning them. Criminals are going to have them no matter what laws you pass. If you don't believe me, look at Chicago and Washington, DC.
Of course there is, Jake. What kind of arms do yo think they were talking about, peashooters? Calling up the militia meant taking on the baddest army on the planet. Our Founders knew EXACTLY what they were doing when they wrote it.
