Iraqis will still be allowed to keep handguns, rifles and shotguns. But the new instructions contain a lengthy list of much heavier weapons that would be prohibited to most people: machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades, shoulder-fired missiles, antiaircraft guns, mortars, land mines and grenades.

Start 'em on that slippery slope early on eh?

Gotta tow the party line... "rights" are GRANTED by the gov, doncha know! "Scary" arms are excluded from "shall not be infringed". (/sarcasm) It's interesting to note, that Iraqui's are only "allowed" to KEEP (some) arms under this scheme, not to BEAR them.

The saddest part is that many so called "Second Amendment supporters" beleive in "reasonable restrictions", and that only (certain) "guns" are covered under the Second Amendment. What part of "the right of the people to keep and bear ARMS shall not be infringed" do they not understand?
