We should return to the original meaning of the Second Amendment | OregonLive.com
I support the Second Amendment, but only in its full text. "Well-regulated militias" may need extreme arms, but such arms are a danger to the public in the hands of crazy people. And all of us get crazy occasionally. While we're at it, also ban military sniper rifles. These .50-caliber rifles, with armor-piercing ammunition, can penetrate an inch of armor and are deadly to 1,000 yards. Nor does any citizen need semiautomatic handguns with large-capacity magazines. It's questionable that police forces even need them.
