17. Private citizens shouldn't have handgunsAND shotguns with barrels under 18 inches, because they serve no military purpose, and private citizens shouldn't have "assault rifles," because they are military weapons.

US vs. Miller - 1939. Had this terrible ruling never happened, Randy Weaver's wife and son would still be alive.

41. The 1st ammendment "right of the press" applies to ALL modern electronic media - not just the manually operated printing presses of the 18th century. The "arms" mentioned in the 2nd ammendment applies only to 18th century smoothbore muskets, not modern "automatic killing machines", because the founders never envisioned such a terrible weapon in the hands of civillians.

"34. Police officers, who qualify with their duty weapons once or twice a year, have some special Jedi-like mastery over handguns that private citizens can never hope to obtain."

That one is my favorites, as many, many people, who are not cops, have expert firearms training and experience.
