Ted Cruz: New Gun Control Proposals 'Unconstitutional'

The firearm being regulated, for not only being allowed, but mandatory for uniformity.

Semiautomatic, let alone full automatics, were but pipe dreams, even if they could conceive of such. Things change. The regulations must change to keep up.

In other words, regulating the people, the militia, necessarily means regulating their firearms also.
