Please provide us with your list of things that constitute a “legitimate civilian use”. Then go read the US Constitution and the writings of the men who wrote, debated and ultimately ratified that document and see if your thoughts on civilian firearms ownership even remotely resemble theirs. I’m guessing they won’t.

Well, then, I want my F-22. I want to be able to own an Abrams tank. I want to have a battleship or an Aircraft Carrier. Because, according to the logic being applied here, the only way I, or anyone else, can legitimately claim my 2nd amendment right is to have weapons which can be used to defend myself (and others) from our Government, and the only way in which to be able to defend ourselves from that Government is to have the same weapons they have as a civilian. I have a hard time with that logic.

Just curios, why do we have vehicles that go well over 100mph when the legal speed limit is much lower?
