Automobile" connotes a four-wheeled vehicle. So your space shuttle example doesn't fly (no pun intended .
Which doesn't really answer the question as to what they meant.
You're the one who implied that that 2A only gives us the right own muskets. Sounds pretty specific to me.Have you been paying attention? My point throughout this entire exchange has been that they were intentionally un-specific.
I implied no such thing. I was pointing out that the 2A wasn't that specific, which means maybe you haven't been paying attention (or we both haven't) because I agree - they weren't specific. Yet it appears to me that you are arguing they were...
Uh, can you drive a firearm?
But a tank can fire a round of ammunition from a machine gun.
I find your assertion that the constitution confers privileges, and not rights, to be laughable.
Wrong.By the way, your comment about hunting with an automatic weapon was absurd.

I am asserting no such thing. I have not mentioned the 2nd with regard to privileges, which is why I think Loki has made the parameters a little more clearer at the end of his last post.
Wrong. We gun owners are not like the libtarded pod people. We disagree with eachother all the time, whether we're talking about the scope of the 2A, or if 9mm is an acceptable personal protection round, or if the Springfield XD is as reliable as the Glock, etc, etc, etc..
If that is the case (disagreeing all the time), then why keep on having a go at me about it, yet not address the person who first brought it up. Seems to be a complete contridiction of hte above statement.
To put it simply, if a state wants to grant its citizens the right to own tanks and nukes, fine. However I don't think the constitution grants these rights.
You can think what you like. What it actually DOES do is open to interpretation. If it wasn't, 10s of millions of words would not have been written on that sentence since it was first written.
Really? Reading your sig I think it does.
My sig?? Want to clarify that a bit more? Nope, the US constitution rarely affects me, if at all...

It's so absurd I've read about such cases....go figure.
