(18,318 posts)I said we need to control criminals. Any dispute with that? No?
BTW, I have never known a gun to be tried, convicted and jailed for a crime. For some reason people are convicted. Why is that?
For your information, you CAN own many weapons like tanks, fighter planes, cannon, but they are highly restricted. "Arms," understood in the context of the Second when it was written, are firearms designed to be held and operated in one or both arms, and suitable for infantry (militia, if you are so called up). There are some pro-2A folks who say sub-machine guns and true assault rifles (capable of full-auto) ARE indeed the kinds of weapons suitable for infantry, and that semi-autos are virtually obsolete as military weapons. So be thankful that most 2A defenders are reasonable folks who put up with the restrictions placed on full-auto guns during the 1930s.
You may want to keep a tight grip on your computer. It doesn't fit the definition of "press."
