(11,843 posts)I did not insist that the right to keep and bear arms is limited to the arms available when the Constitution was written, I called out your ridiculous assertion that the 2nd requires people to keep a semi or full automatic weapon. The authors had no idea what either of those were, and were not requiring anyone to keep or bear arms. Your statement "So, membership in the Militia would require that I not own an "assault weapon" (semi automatic tactical sporting rifle) but an actual assault rifle (fully automatic hand held machine gun)" has nothing at all to do with the 2nd amendment.
I also pointed out that your notion that the militia clause is but one example of the right to keep and bear arms is false. You have avoided defending your position on that. Can you cite another example? Or are these other examples just ignoring parts that you don't want applied?
