Can you give me any Constitutional reason why I should not be permitted to own, say, a military version M-16...
Since I don't live in Texas I don't have any right to decide how the good people of Texas choose to self-govern themselves there. The courts have upheld time and again reasonable restrictions on gun ownership, but what is reasonable for a community should be up to the community in question.

Glad you said it JUST that way... your communism is showing buddie... fwiw... the commune form of government is NOT in the penumbra of our constitution. And states don't have the right to perpetrate it on the folks, even IF they are too stupid to recoginize it for what it is.
Just because a state SAYS they have the power to pass and enforce a "reasonable" law, does not mean it will forever pass constitutional muster... and the dinosaurs of the communal movement are nearing extinction... reasonable or not.

A reply so rubbery that it has no substance: Hillary Clinton's idea of "reasonable restrictions" would be zero guns for BenR2.
