Memo to those who insist they carry an AR-15 or have a high capacity mag for their pistol...
...You don't NEED those weapons; you WANT them.
We all know why.
First off, Flatulus, it's called the Bill of RIGHTS, not the Bill of Needs. The word has a specific meaning, and you
might look like less of a drolling imbecile if you learned it, DUm'Rat.
Secondly, when you combine the 2nd Amendment's verbiage with the Article I, Section 8 authority granted to Congress to issue Letters of Marques to US citizens, contrary to you morons and your half-baked assertions the Founders
DID intend for the people of this country to possess MILITARY GRADE weapons, to include functional artillery, missiles (rockets, back in the day) and their own fully armed and operational WARSHIPS as the individual citizen deemed necessary. Your feelings don't even enter into the conversation.
Finally; the "average" Vietnamese rice farmer didn't go strutting around with their Kalashnikov rifle slung over their shoulder either. They just kept it racked until the representatives of Government turned their backs on him for a moment.
