"Dangerous and unusual."
Again a flawed interpretation. "Shall not be infringed" means that the assigned right cannot be intruded upon, or diminished. All guns are dangerous. If you don't believe it I invite you to take a .22 lr handgun, place the muzzle to your temple, and fire.
I trust people, here atleast, to know better than to actually do that.
Another point: automatic guns are unusual. The govt registers and taxes them at a rate equivalent to $3000.00 in today's money, making them very hard for people in the 1930s to purchase, then claim that since they are "unusual" (duuuuuh) they're not protected by the 2A.
Circular logic?
Govt created problem >>>>govt SOLVED problem.
Never trust government .... ANY GOVERMENT. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
