Second Amendment: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Totally wrong. The Constitution doesn't say anything about citizens being able to have military weapons, just to "bear arms" which meant at the time a flintlock rifle or two for hunting and/or self defense. AS you are interpreting the Constitution. It's says nothing about hunting. It says, "being necessary to the security of a free State". "the right of the people to keep and bear arms". It does not specify, type or caliber. Flintlock or cannon. It's the ultimate check and balance to tyranny, whether from without or within. It says "being necessary to the security of a free state". To me this means that these arms may be kept and can be used when the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are being infringed upon. Any other use of them is not guaranteed or authorized by the Constitution. Not even for hunting.
