But here's were you aren't matching terms. You say that their decision used "ordinary military equipment" not "infantry equipment" (which would include grenades and/or claymores) not "man portable" (which would Stinger missles). Thus, your interpretation of "cobat load" is not explict in the discussion. Also, an infantry soldier's "combat load" could also be an M60 or an M203. I don't think anyone thinks that the un-diagnosed nut down the road should have either of these.

Also, has the Supreme Court even defined the part of the 2nd Amendment that say "well regulated"? Regulated by whom? Wouldn't this be the National Guard and not a bunch of guys who decide to start the Elm Street militia? If you can self-regulate a militia, couldn't the KKK or the Aryans decide to be a militia and wouldn't they be entitled to all the military hardware that you speak of.

Don't get me wrong. I am looking forward to getting an AR-15 (miss shooting one since leaving the Army) but, as we all know, I just don't want THE OTHER GUY to have one :). Plus, I find this debate interesting so, I can't just agree with you. No fun.
