I support ALL the amendments to the Constitution. Including the right of states to raise militias.

The 2nd amendment clearly has to do with state militias. If, as the NRA would have you believe, it means that the 'militia' includes all able-bodied citizens, then clearly they must have access to all the armaments of a modern militia. Therefore, it should guarantee the right of individuals to own the following:

Machine guns
Grenades
Artillery
Mortars
Hand held rockets (e.g. stingers)
Tanks

Right? If not, then maybe it really just meant that you could own Revolutionary War-era munitions?
