I've given up on these morons. They have no clue what the Founders had in mind when they wrote the 2nd. Not because they are inherently stupid, just that they are in complete denial about the prospect of a less than benign government. One more time: The RKBA is NOT about hunting or sport shooting; it IS about having the means to resist a government that oversteps its Constitutuional limitations. In that, the Founders intended to have a citizenry that had at least the same level of firepower as that of any standing [government controlled] army. That includes full auto weapons. Self defense against criminals is an added bonus.
it IS about having the means to resist a government that oversteps its Constitutuional limitations. Exactly what they want to suppress. Esp. the .50 cal, capable of penetrating an armored car body.
As for the mental illness part,
What about all the kids, and adults, that have taken anti- ADHD, depression drugs ie. Prozac, Ritalin.
Many of these prescriptions were unnecessary but now they are part of peoples permanent records.
