In response to a series of school shootings across the country, the Kingston Common Council may be taking action to garner federal and state support for more stringent safety protocols regarding firearms. Alderman Reynolds Scott-Childress, who authored the local memorializing resolution, said although the spirit is to promote a broad range of anti-gun violence efforts, there are specific details he would like to see state and federal officials tackle. |

The Supreme Court in US. v. Miller said that there are certain weapons that are protected, namely, arms in common use that specifically have militia utility.
And you can't get beyond that barrier.

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
