MD: Keep battlefield weapons out of private hands

This is simple. If a firearm is appropriate on the battlefield, it should not be in the hands of a private citizen (”Man with AK-47 assault rifle busted in Midtown Manhattan subway station,” April 16).

We must ban the manufacture and sale of all automatic and semi-automatic weapons. If you must have a handgun for self-defense, let it be a revolver. Hunters can have bolt action or lever-action rifles. Birders need only a single or double barrel shotgun. Nothing else is needed.

I'd say exactly the opposite . Any firearm suitable for the armed forces(organized militia) should be available to the rest of us (the "people") in the unorganized militia.

"If a firearm is appropriate on the battlefield, it should not be in the hands of a private citizen."

That is exactly the opposite of what the 2A guarantees.

The SCOTUS in U.S. v. Miler (1939) stipulated that the arms within the ambit of the Second Amendment's guarantee are SPECIFICALLY "battlefield weapons."

The 2A was enshrined to guarantee arms in common use that are "any part of the ordinary military equipment" and/or "could contribute to the common defense."
