...you claim the Feds/States can prohibit 'assault weapons'.

Huh? When did I ever say that? I'm certain that I didn't, because I do not think "assault weapons" should be banned.

This whole line began with #16, which referred to a past thread that claimed US citizens have the right to possess nukes and added, "Hard to argue with that logic...". I'm guessing you jumped into the debate further downstream, and incorrectly presumed that I support the AWB. I do not. I am arguing that the extreme interpretation of the 2nd Amendment which claims we should all have access to nukes is insane. The balance of my comments proceeded from there.

FWIW, I think the AWB cuts far too deeply into the individual citizen's rights. However, I also think its only sane and reasonable to say there should be a line somewhere between a stick and a nuke. I have not presumed to draw that line myself; only to argue that there should be one. The AWB's line is clearly in the wrong place, IMO.

If you want to draw the line, Amend the Constitution. That is what the process is there for.
