"The Second Amendment does not protect assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines. It's certainly not what the framers of the Constitution intended when they drafted the Second Amendment."
That is precisely incorrect; in fact, it is the inverse of what the USSC ruled in U.S. v. Miller, which held that arms that are not in common use that "are [not] any part of the ordinary military equipment" are those not within the ambit of 2A protection.
Meaning that arms that meet those criteria ARE, de facto, WITHIN the ambit of 2a protection.
The lower and appellate courts must be shamed into rejecting the Red Queen declarations of anti-gun statists. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
