“I honestly believe that everyone, including convicted felons should not be prohibited from owning or carrying weapons.”

Exactly, and there should be no classification of weapons either.

Why differentiate between weapons? If you are a responsible owner of a small caliber handgun why can’t you be the responsible owner of an assault rifle, a large caliber sniper rifle, an RPG, a 105m howitzer, or an anti-aircraft battery?

Restricting what weapons a responsible owner can have just leaves the door wide open to make sure that the people are so woefully under-gunned that we may as well be completely unarmed if/when an oppressive regime decides that freedom is too inconvenient to be tolerated.

We the people need to be at least as well armed as the military under government control to be able to ensure freedom from tyranny, that is the essence of the 2nd amendment.

Well that is ultimately what its all about, control of the serfs, has nothing to do with our safety and well being but about control over us once the government decides they need to control us more...
