I never said anyone wanted you to have WMDs. I never said that you wanted them. Reread my post. I said the Founding Fathers almost certainly did not want you to have WMDs.

If you would actually read what is posted instead of seeing what you want to see, it would prevent some nasty exchanges.

I think I see where you're wandering off of the road here. Are you trying to make the point that a full auto capable rifle somehow equals a "WMD"? If so, you may have already been indoctrinated beyond hope.

Consider this for a moment, please.
Our Second Amendment was written to guarantee the individual right to arms AND the collective right, {militia}. The militia member was expected to answer the call bringing his own weapon "in common use" for his time. Today, in our time, that weapon would be at a minimum the second version of the M16.

Inalienable REALLY means inalienable. {Foolish voters may not legislate said rights away}
Shall not be infringed REALLY means shall not be infringed.

They had no problem with privately owned warships, however.

The Founding Fathers owned the WMDs of the day.
