Where do you stand on banning guns?

61. I may need to clarify and seek info.

I may have used the wrong tern as to class 2 rules. I was actually referring to fully automatic guns.
I agree with the list of items you stated. When I first read what makes an assault weapon I almost laughed, I didn't see the logic behind them. Okay, I actually do but I just don't agree. Basically, it seems they don't want citizens to have a gun which looks military, maybe for quick identification, some psychological factor or for the "fear factor", but if that were the case why not simply say what they mean, instead of some list of restrictions which don't make the weapon any more dangerous.

Going back to the argument of being a part of defending the country in the 21st century I see fully-auto weapons the only way that could be possible, and I still have doubts that would have much affect. Nevertheless, for those who belong to a state sponsored militia or have had full background checks, training and registration I could accept those in society. By the way, if the purpose of those guns are the defense of our nation, why shouldn't the state sponsored militia supply the ammo to feed those guns and for that matter supply the gun to be surrounded upon leaving the militia?

As to the founding fathers opinions of our current debate. I am hesitate to guess what they would think of our current debate. They may even worded the 2nd Amendment differently so to prevent these discussions. Things are so different today, I am not sure they could have had even a guess as to where weaponry would evolve to, just as if we decided to rewrite the 2nd Amendment to fit today specifically, how would it work in 250 years? Beyond thought experiments, that discussion would be academic at best.

If you get a chance could you help with with a couple of terms. I am guessing class 2 are the "assault weapon" which as we have established has the 16" barrel, stock with pistol grip, suppressor and collapsing stock. What weapon type/class is a fully automatic?
