My point was that the 50 bmg would meet this definition, as would full auto's......... I'm not so sure about cannon or cruise missles.
I understood your point.
My point is that if we play by their rules, we lose.
Do you honestly believe that anti-gunners would classify the .50 as "small". After all, it can bring down an aircraft at 2 miles. Ugly semi-automatic rifles with pistol grips were outlawed by the Feds for ten years and are still illegal in Kalifornia.
There are laws against arms which are too big, too small, too ugly, too easy to handle, too short, hold too many cartridges, are too easy to conceal, consist of too much plastic, etc. Why would the "well-regulated Militia" need such deficient arms, they might ask.
The bottom-line is that the government has no business deciding which arms are suitable to a Militia. That is for the Militia to decide, at the time and place when the decision must be made. When the lives of our neighbors, our loved-ones, and ourselves are on the line, we will know which means are suitable and which are not.
