Well now, those texts are pretty clear, aren't they? However, I never hear much support for universal military service to assure that the "well-regulated" bit gets some attention. What's your take on that, JM? NRA hunter safety course enuf in your opinion? As for your view of what is and isn't an "assault" weapon, I agree that the Matty Mattel on semi-auto is pretty much a rifle squad staple and I see nothing wrong with everyone of us having one in the closet, bit of drill in the hot sun on weekends, clean it for a couple hours and then clean it again (up to say the age of 65 anyway). To this irrelevant, minoritarian Nimrod, the paramilitary coat tail we cling to for the maintenance of our "rights" is getting pretty worn thru by cognitive dissonance--or should I say lies, damned lies, and hypocracy. Not meant to offend any particular one of my fellow dwellers under the Big Tent, of course.
