"This is why we're all supposed to have M-16s."

I understand. We are all the militia.

I agree that those of us citizens who want them, are qualified to have them (not a felon, sane, minimal age requirement), and can afford them should have them. And I think that right should be protected. If it came up for a vote, I'd vote for it.

BUT, I'm saying the second amendment doesn't do that today. Futhermore, even if the Heller court rules it an individual right for every citizen, that still won't put an M-16 in every household.

Get yourself an AR-15. Now that the federal AWB has expired, you can get it with a collapsible stock, flash suppressor, and bayonet lug.

A three-round burst, unfortunately, is only accomplished by pulling the trigger three times - real fast.

It's a step along the way. Do you see any potential benefits to having the SC hear the Heller case?
