The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives us the right to own guns. But I do not believe it gives individuals the right to own assault-style weapons. As Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently said, “The weapons were designed for one purpose and one purpose only: to kill the largest number of people in the shortest period of time.” Why would any rational, law-abiding citizen need such a weapon? I can’t imagine. |

Well, then, you're an idiot.
"[To] secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among men...[W]henever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends...it is their Right, their Duty, to throw off such Government[.]" - Declaration of Independence
Beginning to become clearer now? No?
Then, like I said, you're an idiot.

"The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
Infringe: 1.) To intrude into.
2.) To diminish
This means when you ban X type of gun, you have INTRUDED INTO the rights of the people .... and, oh yes, you have diminished those rights.

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 |
