You forget in 1776 rifles were used for both hunting and warfare. These days, assault rifles and other military weapons are for warfare only. You also forget we have trained militias in each state called National Guards. We don't need rightwing extremists with military arsenals. They could be a danger to the country. But if we allow them, why not leftwing militias or black gang militias? WHo defines the limits. Nobody. And if you allow AK-47's why not machine-guns, grenade launchers, tanks? Where does it end.

Uh uh, got to keep a lid on this. And remember Oklahoma City. Some of these rightwing extremists are very dangerous demented people.

Wayne, in the founders time, a rifle or a musket or pistol would be about all an individual could weild. Now, he could weild a machine gun, grenade launcher, shoulder fired AA missile, to name a few. Do you think our rights should be expanded to cover these new capabilities? How about tanks?
