But like I said, the debate is on where that line should be drawn. The Alex Joneses who want everything from sharp sticks to nukes to be legal for private use and the hipsters calling for a complete disarming are irrelevant to the actual debate as far as I'm concerned.

We have to know what we are allowed to keep and bear.

Like I said, before the Heller decision it was much less cloudy...the courts generally saw the right to bear arms as being part of a well-regulated militia.

Now that Heller has moved that distinction to an individual right, we have to decide what arms they're talking about.

If you believe the 2nd Amendment is sacrosanct, then I DO have a right to carry that Stinger...and a suitcase nuke for that matter. If you start bringing up court decisions you're opening the legislative door to fundamentally understanding what that term means.

As it stands...you can't show me what the Second Amendment means without attempting to use court interpretation, because it isn't clear.

Your entire argument against the 2nd amendment is invalid since you completely forget that it is against the constitution to incite violence and disturb the peace. Carrying around a suitcase nuke in a public place, which I am assuming the problem you are trying to illustrate, definitely falls under that. Regardless, most of our weapon manufacturers are privately owned therefore private citizens are indeed carrying such armaments around. They aren't doing so in a public place though since that would be against the law. You are basically using scare tactics to make a case which makes you nothing more than a terrorist.

do you Americans honestly think banning assault weapons is a bad thing? I can't tell if this is a troll or not.

It might be worth noting that the Jews were the only ones banned from owning guns. Nice white folks had an easier time getting guns after Hitler came to power.

Those same white folks stood by with their guns and watched while the Jews were murdered in the streets.

My suitcase nuke and Stinger will be in my garage, thank you very much.
