It's nothing but a high capacity child-porn distribution system!

That's pretty much how ridiculous it sounds when you tell gun owners that they're all would-be mass murderers because they use modern weapons and not flint-lock pistols.

Also, "a well regulated militia" does not mean what you seem to think it means. It does not mean that the right to own weapons is confined to militia service; and even if it did, that would still mean every male age 17 to 45.
