Any infringement on the Second Amendment is taboo. It is an inalienable right... the Founders put that word in there for a reason. Next will be semi auto then handguns. You either believe in the Constitution or you think it is a living document to be changed by pop culture of the day.

At the time the 2nd amendment was written, “arms” had a specific meaning. There were no semi-automatic, or automatic, weapons.

Today arms include rocket propelled grenades. Do have have an absolute right to own a stinger anti-aircraft missle? That’s an “arm”, and you just said I have an inalienable right to keep and bear arms?

Is there ANY weapon I can’t have? If so, how do you decide which weapons are “rights” and which are not?
