Quote from Tsing Tao:
I disagree 100%. The Constitution was not intended to leave grey areas open to interpretation. It was meant wholly to be absolute.
Lots of media spew right now about banning semi-automatic weapons.
In Revolutionary days, battles were fought with muskets... that's what everybody had... government/military and civilians.
The "right to bear arms" was to enable the people to defend themselves against oppressive government.... not robbers and thieves. And now that government/military has automatic weapons, citizens should be allowed to have them too. (For citizens to have muskets while the military has M4s, would be no protection at all.)
