We'll be lucky to keep single shot rifles.
Here's the second amendment as explained on Whitehouse.gov
The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms. Link
Note the way they say that the second amendment "GIVES" people their rights. The bill of rights serves to secure our God-given rights from the power of the government. The government doesn't give us any rights.
Yet that is the way the new administration perceives rights. They are something given by the government.

I sent an email to the White House asking for a clarification of the phrase
"The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms." I also suggested a correction might be in order.
It will be interesting to read their reply as to what they believe the Second Amendment says and means.

If you refuse to recognize that rights come from an unappealable Creator, then rights come from (and can be revoked by) an institution of man.

Note the way they say that the second amendment "GIVES" people their rights. Note the absence of any language that might indicate we have the right to keep said arms.

We'll be lucky to keep single shot rifles.You mean "deadly, hyper-accurate, sniper rifles"? I'm afraid that's out of the question. You now have 24 hours to report to your local reeducation camp for proper instruction on such matters.
Remember: Brother Obama is watching you.
