It's the gun - not the individual bullets - that is "big", friend, not so much in size, though the AR 15 is hardly small, but in appearance as a weapon of power and its impressive record in mowing down a crowd of hapless bystanders. This is where the debate is; being a gun specialist gives you no edge in it at all. As for the bullets, if they are big enough to rip holes in people it doesn't much matter that they are comparatively "tiny".

I personally believe in the 2nd Amendment but not the private ownership of military style assault rifles.
I have unwilling familiarity with the latter and more willing familiarity with sporting arms.
Firearms reform is just not the first item on my personal progressive agenda..

A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
I think the second amendment was written stupidly.
There should have been no mention of irrelevant militias.
They should have simply stated that American citizens in good standing have the right to bear arms.
Prohibiting specific arms is not inferable from such wording, however, as long as the general principle is being acknowledged.

No. We needed to know what Chinese aircraft were likely to do, and they were supposed to communicate in National Language, basically Mandarin. You never saw rabbits before myxamatosis - vicious lot, eating us out of house and home. The shotgun had a bent nail for a firing pin, and worked about one time in three. The beasties used to play rabbit roulette, laughing.

anyone who's read the debate minutes, federalist and anti federalist papers, and all the commentary from the ratification era knows that there's nothing 'intelligent' about that interpretation.....

Gun culture, is that a real thing? Lol. Sounds like something a fag hag might say.
Youre right, there's some restrictions on weapons that can be sold. However, there's no restrictions on weapons you designed and made yourself. You can absolutley own a flame thrower. You can absolutely own a dirty bomb. Etc.
