Well, I think his statement about the atom bombs hints that if the machine gun proposal is deemed inadequate for some reason, he's left himself room to ratchet it up to include more powerful weapons. I don't see it happening, but there's a significant body of thought that feel the 2nd amendment applies to all personal weapons used in combat and may extend to some crew manned weapons. There is a history of privately owned cannons in this nation. In fact if you want one, you can buy one, no license required.

So, we are, in a sense, LOSING rights under his idea.

He wasn't in any primaries in this race and so he's probably just beginning to get a real feel for the pulse of the people of Illinois.
We'll know a lot more on November 2. ;-)
