I find it interesting that gun rights advocates fear that certain gun restrictions are designed to, and will lead to an outright ban when legislatures (local, state, and federal) have imposed gun restrictions throughout our history. Towns in the old west would often prohibit guns in the town. Under the NRA's interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, the people should be free to own and carry nuclear arms.
Additionally, I wonder how many NRA members can recit the entire 2nd amendment:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
The right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed because a well regulated Militia is necessary for the security of a free state. Does the US or any of its states really need the extra security that could be offered by citizens carrying guns?
