I read the article, the author is taking the liberal bait just like many here.
They do not want to ban assault rifles, they want to ban GUNS. Nancy Pelosi said exactly this years ago.
And the author is assuming the 2nd is about target practice, not defense of the Constitution.
“I read the article, the author is taking the liberal bait just like many here.”
This argument about whether it’s an assault or military rifle is simply a red herring. When the 2nd amendment was put in the constitution was there any difference between military rifles and civilian rifles?
I’m also curious could one own a cannon back then? What restrictions were there regarding the type of weapons one could privately own?
