If I understand your post #188 correctly, then, you are arguing that banning modern firearms is OK because they have grown immensely in capability from what existed in the late 18th century.

Is that what you are saying?

Maybe not in 188, but definately in 186.

Maybe they think we should get rid of all those multi-ton killing machines known as automobiles as well. And baseball bats, and golf clubs, and sharp rocks... After all, there is no Constitutional protection for owning a baseball bat now is there?

Was the word banning in that post or any other I have posted? I didn't think so.

What I have said and still say is that Absolutist interpretations of the Second aids those who are opposed to it.
