Well, clearly its militia relevance was deemed critical to the outcome of the case (if ever taken to its conclusion).

Perversely, Leftists don’t realize that their line of reasoning means we can have new M16s.

Leftists don’t realize that their line of reasoning means we can have new M16s.

Such "reasoning" doesn't apply to leftist thought processes - they always think backwards. "This is the result we want, so the rules for this situation must be X, and the rules for that situation must be Y in order to achieve that result." In other words, they'll use one reason to deny you a freedom, then refute that reason to deny you another one.

If I remember my high school civics correctly, and it has been - just- a few years, the government has duties and powers as enumerated in the Constitution; rights, as outlined in but not limited by the Bill or Rights, pertain to the people/individual citizen. Nowhere in the Constitution do I see the government having the power or duty to confiscate personal weapons. Feel free to correct me if my memory is inaccurate.

I have a couple of semi-auto Ar's. While I like the platorm, I'd prefer something along the lines of a select fire LR-308 from DPMS. Based on Eugene Stoner's modular design, it has all the accuracy of a pretty good bolt gun chambered in .308 Win/7.62x51 NATO.

Of course, being able to save up for a Dillon Aero M134-D would be kind of nice too...
