The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives us the right to own guns. But I do not believe it gives individuals the right to own assault-style weapons. As Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently said, “The weapons were designed for one purpose and one purpose only: to kill the largest number of people in the shortest period of time.” Why would any rational, law-abiding citizen need such a weapon? I can’t imagine. |

"Why would any rational, law-abiding citizen need such a weapon? I can’t imagine."
Well, then, you're an idiot.
"[To] secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among men...[W]henever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends...it is their Right, their Duty, to throw off such Government[.]" - Declaration of Independence
Beginning to become clearer now? No?
Then, like I said, you're an idiot.

"The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
Infringe: 1.) To intrude into.
2.) To diminish
This means when you ban X type of gun, you have INTRUDED INTO the rights of the people .... and, oh yes, you have diminished those rights.

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
