(3,891 posts)Previously, SCOTUS felt it was a collective right. The Milita part of the second amendment. However, do you really think that SCOTUS would not uphold regulations? Already States have laws that make certain weapons illegal. The David Gregory Thirty round clip story proves that. In DC, it is illegal to even possess one. So why can't we make it illegal nationwide? Oh no, we can't, you see the Second Amendment makes that bad. Crap.
If we can ban thirty round magazines, and several states have, then why can't we ban semi-automatic rifles? California makes it illegal to own a .50 caliber gun, and it should be illegal everywhere.
We can regulate the second amendment. For those of you who think it is a right the founders intended, fine. You can have a gun like the founders had. Flintlock black powder rifles and pistols. That is what the founders had when they passed this abomination of an amendment right?
