We live in a nanny state from both parties. Try to carry a big lighter or a bottle of water onto an airplane. Go try to buy aerial fireworks and legally set them off (there are a couple of rare exceptions here . Go try to buy a sofa not poisoned with anti flammable liquids. Try walking around with a few ounces of pot.

But hey, let's keep it strict 2a. Go try to buy a fully auto turret mounted .50 cal. A shoulder fired hellfire, an M1A1. An ICBM.

Yeah, there's f'in nanny state all over the place except the one taboo spot, weapons that allow over 100 people to be shot by a single individual in a matter of minutes.
