I am glad my sister owns a handgun, so that when she drives long distances she can have it, just in case. I am glad I can purchase a rifle when my boy gets a little older so we can shoot together. I am glad we have a well-managed conservation department that allows people to hunt within limits using shotguns and rifles.
But why should a citizen have the right to purchase combat weaponry if it infringes upon others’ right for self-defense? My sister’s pistol and my rifle are no match against combat weaponry. |

Wow, a whole new term; COMBAT WEAPONRY.
Scary, ain't it?

Except that the SCOTUS in U.S. v. Miller (1939) ruled just the opposite.
According to the Miller Court, only arms that have military utility are within the ambit of Second Amendment protection. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
