Nor is that the goal of defining the 2nd amendment. Quite plainly (imo, I suppose, though I'd wager not just I). Any form of gun control being the first step toward gun elimination has always been an exaggerated argument.
To borrow a favorite correlation from anti-gun control groups: Why aren't people up in arms over requiring licensing and registration on automobiles? Why aren't people insisting no limits to what is and isn't street legal?
Because owning and driving a car is not a right under the consitution. Owning a gun is. THAT is the differance.
The anti gun crowd just has no concept of what they are talking about. What did the assult weapons ban accomplish?? Not a damn thing. OHHHHH it's now illegal to purchase any weapon that has 3 out of these 4 componets on it, bayonet lug, pistol grip, flash suppresor, or a telescoping stock. So even efater the ban went into effect I could by an AR-15/M-16 style weapon with NO flash suppresor, NO telescoping stock, and NO bayonet lug and it will STILL shoot the same ammo, and be able to kill just the same as a weapon with those items, but by God the anti gun crowd thought it was a great idea because a weapon with those items on it LOOKS scarry.
That's the mentality of the anti gun crowd. They don't know or understand the first thing about the weapons they want to get rid of, all they know is they don't like them. Don't ask them why because they couldn't tell you anything other than, "guns kill people" and that should be enough for anyone to understand.
My point of view is this. If you want me to give up MY weapons than you had better have as much if not more knowledge about my weapons than I do, and you better be able to convince me with actual FACTS to back up your argument. Thing is that will NEVER happen so I will NEVER give up my guns.
The day my government says I can no longer own my guns is the day my government no longer serves me. At that point I will be an outlaw and I will fight for my God given rights.
