"As I said above, reasonable regulations are Constitutional. We have reasonable regs on nukes, unreasonable on automatic weapons"

and....

'"Shall not be infringed" is quite specific."

Thanks for proving my point that you have an opinion on the way the constitution reads.

You have an opinion on what is reasonable and what is not reasonable... a tank or nuke is reasonable.. automatic weapons is not.

You interrupt things the way you want to. That doesn't mean that the founders agree with you.

Now an opinion I can respect.. but I would have to disagree with you on.

But don't hold your opinion so high that you think you are above the law.. it can and will catch up with you.

You insist:

The right to bear arms is not the right to bear any arms. Technology has provided us automatic weapons... tanks.. and nukes..
I guess the way you read the Constitution we shall be able to keep a low yield nuke in our closests just in case the Government gets a little out of hand.

As I said above, reasonable regulations are Constitutional. We have reasonable regs on nukes, unreasonable on automatic weapons.

Instead of reading things the way you want you might want to go back and take a look. THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS means that we can have weapons.. it doesn't say that right can't be regulated.. it doesn't say that we have the right to bear any type of arm..

"Shall not be infringed" is quite specific.

and certainly doesn't you get to throw in due process because you feel like adding that into an amendment that doesn't even talk about due process.

The 14th applies to all other Amendments. Our rights to life, liberty, or property [guns are property] are protected by its provisions.

You have an opinion on what is reasonable and what is not reasonable... a tank or nuke is reasonable.. automatic weapons is not.

Read much? I said that we have reasonable regs about nukes, and unreasonable regulations on owning automatic weapons & tank cannons, etc. Anyone can own a 'tank', since they aren't regulated.

You interrupt things the way you want to. That doesn't mean that the founders agree with you.

Do you think the founders agree with your theory that: -- "The right to bear arms is not the right to bear any arms."

Now an opinion I can respect.. but I would have to disagree with you on. But don't hold your opinion so high that you think you are above the law.. it can and will catch up with you.

I don't think I'm "above the law". Feel free to show where I've said anything like that.
