I will also suggest that the Constitution envisions private ownership of crew served weapons, as shown by the Letters of Marque and Reprisal clause. What is a privateer ship but a crew served weapon, privately owned, and authorized to be used in the service of the nation by a private party?
So machine guns, artillery, and even fighter aircraft are to be available for private ownership per the constitution.
My reasons are mine. It is mine. And I am deeply suspicious of anyone who intends to deny my obtaining or keeping it.
I can’t completely disagree with you but I can’t agree with you either. strange times we find find ourselves in.
I do appreciate that you aren't abusive about it and can discuss things.
Things have been over the top here with personal attacks.

On a nice calm evening in Springfield, there are several gunshots recorded. They have those audio systems that can triangulate gunshots.
The streets are not safe.
Thanks Mitt.

One resident of Massachusetts who can say without any reservations at all that Romney was a disaster - an absolute disaster - on Second Amendment issues.
I too am from MA, and I agree that Romney was far from the best governor. He is not the best candidate for president either. But, he’d still be a lot better than Obama. This so-called gun issue is nonsense, dispute the I must have a howitzer in my living room crowd. (I am a strong gun owners proponent.)
Choosing to vote or not is one’s choice. Just be careful of what you wish for. Not voting means a win for Obama. People need to get off the emotional gun issue and think of the other consequences of 4 more years of Obama - including stricter gun laws.

“People need to get off the emotional gun issue”
Actually, the gun issue is a great conservative litmus test- it shows who really believes in limited government. A northeastern gungrabbing liberal RINO like Romney flunks lunch on this one.
