25. Military guns have been collected for generations

You seem to want to imply that "military weapons" or "assault weapons" are more dangerous than
the weapons we should be "allowed" to own.

If someone kills with a .22cal or a .45cal are you more dead?
People have collected military guns for a long time. I don't see people wandering the streets with
M1 Garands and military rifles. You said you were in favor of responsible gun ownership but it doesn't seem like you will allow anyone the trust to be responsible.

As far as Scalia's writing:
" Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons"
"in common use at the time" - where the hell is that line in the constitution!
Besides - people had muskets at the time and they were the rifle in common use at the time. Therefore we should be able to carry muskets but not "modern" guns? We can only own guns from the 1770's? I think not - So, going back to the previous statement, if people owned muskets and muskets were the military rifle of the time then, we should also be able to carry the military rifle of our time. Before you go off on your rant - I am not saying that we should own automatic weapons - what I am doing is using the logic you gave me from your Scalia quote and used it for the current day.

Tell us now, you really don't want anyone to own a gun, do you? Because, I'd say that the people who presenting logic about legal gun ownership are sure a lot less emotional than the people who are throwing out all this "responsible ownership" stuff.
