The Second Amendment is not a blank check to own every weapon imaginable

Now, let me ask you a question: do you see any items in that list that you don’t want the average US citizen to be able to possess and use for self- and property defense purposes?

If the answer is yes, then congratulations, you have something in common with gun control advocates. You agree that there are some arms which are so dangerous that no citizen should be allowed to possess them. You, like the majority of Americans and the Supreme Court of the United States of America, believe that the Second Amendment is subject to reasonable limitations. The question for you is where to draw the line.

The Second Amendment IS a blank check to own the following weapons: arms “in common use” that have “some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well-regulated militia” and/or are “any part of the ordinary military equipment” (U.S. v Miller, 1939).

In ruling that defendant Miller’s sawed-off shotgun wasn’t within the ambit of Second Amendment protection, the above criteria were established. “Switchblades” of the front-opening variety were also part of the “ordinary military equipment” issued to paratroopers in WWII and thereafter.

The upshot of that precedent is that military small arms commonly carried by individual foot soldiers are those the bearing of which the Second Amendment was enumerated to protect.
 

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
The provision in the Constitution granting the right to all persons to bear arms is a limitation upon the power of the Legislature to enact any law to the contrary. The exercise of a right guaranteed by the Constitution cannot be made subject to the will of the sheriff. [People vs. Zerillo, 219 Mich. 635, 189 N.W. 927, at 928 (1922)]
