My take is that we revert to guns available when the 2nd amendment passed.

They are not banned.

Sorry to burst your bubble. Even nukes are legal to own. The trick is getting the fissile material and then complying with federal regulations in storing said material.

Their guns.

I'm okay with flintlocks and muskets. But all federal agencies and the military have to limit themselves to using them, too. Well they can have cannons.

so the 1st amendment only protects fixed type set for newspapers, right?


you do know that there were Gatling gun type weapons available in 1791.

before the revolutionary war started, all cannon and ships with cannon on them were privately owned.

Americans: using their firearms to kill more of themselves and each other than all their enemies combined since 1791.

Americans: "I need my firearm to protect myself from my fellow citizens and from a "possible" tyrannical government."

Darwin award.

Then you only read newspapers printed on machines that were used when the 1st Amendment was passed, correct?

The first prototype semi-automatic firearms pre-date the 2nd ammendment by 50 years.

Private citizens owned artillery and even battleships that were conscripted into service.
