2A and "Infringement" [View all]

[tortoise1956]

There's been a whole lot of talk about not infringing on the right to keep and bear arms. Here's my take on what could be allowed:

1. Limiting magazine capacity to, say, 10 or 20 rounds
2. Banning a particular sub-type of weapon such as AR-15 or AK-47 rifles (I don't mean simply saying "no semi-automatic rifles allowed" - that is an infringement)
3. Requiring a paperwork trail of sales
4. Limiting purchases of more than one weapon at a time

Personally, I don't see any one of these other - than possibly #3 - really doing much, if anything to stop the senseless killing sprees. However, IMHO the right to keep and bear arms would not infringed by these actions.

If you believe that these infringe on the 2A, please explain why you have reached that conclusion. I appreciate a civil discussion - let's keep it that way.
