You make a very serious point about not being ambiguous as to ‘civilian firearms’. Recent history shows how much misconstruction can be made from undefined verbiage. I refer especially to the words ‘natural born’ in our Constitution as to eligibility for POTUSA. The Founders evidently believed from their discussions that such simplified wording was precise and adequate. Years later it comes that usurpers like Obama and his enablers can use the lack of definition as a means for ‘change’. Citizens of the USA, especially veterans and sports people must not allow sucs chicanery by words to remove our Constitutional rights. This is even more critical when the USA would lose sovereignty to a bunch of never-do-well nations. This issue calls for another call to all free people to protect their inalienable rights..

That was the horror show that drove George Orwell away from the Communists after 20 years of easy, lazy fellow-traveling. He saw the intellectual dishonesty and savagery of the Communists in action in Spain, when they turned on friends and allies (seeking control of the Republic) and actually tried and executed people in shambolic, lying "show trials" that mirrored what Stalin was doing in Russia.

Ever afterward, Orwell was a stickler for "words have meanings and consequences", an idea Ronald Reagan took up and rebroadcast. It was one of Orwell's most important themes.
