[Travis McGee]

Our nation and its liberties existed for almost 150 yrs before "Assault" weapons were even invented. Such things were never even imagined by our founders.

The words of a fool. Muskets and flintlock rifles were the "assault rifles" of their day. Any wound usually resulted in a screaming death from sepsis, or an amputation that didn't kill you from gangrene if you were lucky. Today, a far higher % of gunshot victims survive and return to full activity than they ever did in 1780.

As far as the "rapid fire" feature of semi-autos, even in 1780 any lunatic could take a 1" bore goose gun, load it with rusty nails, and unleash it on a picnic or church. If anything, the results would be more horrific than an attack today with modern weapons, given modern medical advances.

Anyway, the entire point of the 2A, in the words of the founders, was to permit the citizens to be as strong as any standing army, in order to prevent the rise of unchecked tyranny.

I shudder to think that you don't grasp this.

It is false that those weapons were the Assault weapons of the day. Those were the ORDINARY weapons of the day.

Nazi Germany is not the issue here but rather Will ideologues who can't reason very well be manipulated into opposing a Leader who America desparately needs so that the RATmedia will win again?

A fool is one who lies about what weapons of 200 yrs ago were like to one who knows better. A fool is one who cuts off his own nose to spite his face and proclaims it is principle that causes him to do so.
