The 2nd Amendment has already been adjudicated against you vis a vis weapons of war.
So no, you are flat wrong.
No it hasn't. If I go by Heller V and McDonald V, the ones that most try and use for this purpose, I only seen them referring to home defense using "Normal" guns I.E. handguns. You may be able to expand those to normal shotguns and conventional hunting rifles as well. I don't think that would be beyond reason.
But the AR is not protected by the 2nd amendment anymore than any other weapons specifically designed for the battle field. And every feature of the AR is for the battle field. Just because it can do something else doesn't make it any less than a Battle Rifle. Notice, I didn't say Assault Rifle as that's just a really bad term.
For instance, if I am doing a job and I need to hammer in a pin and all I have out is a crescent wrench and I need it driven in right now, do I take the 5 minutes to retrieve the mallet or do I just use the Crescent Wrench to tap the pin in. Does that mean the Crescent Wrench is a Mallet? Is it now a Crescent Mallet? By your definition, that's exactly what it must be.
US V Miller specified that weapons can be banned if they have no military purpose. That is called checkmate.
Have I once said I wanted to ban a single weapon? But what Miller did do was state that a government CAN regulate any firearm and it used Hell V to come to that agreement.
I really wished you would stop trying use the "Fear" tactic to twist things trying to make others believe I am saying something I have never said. The more you do this the more you help the rest of us to know that we are doing the right thing in regulating certain weapons.
Wrong, it said the government can regulate any weapons that have no military purpose.
That argument was thrownout a very long time ago. With the weapons of war used today, there is nothing off the table. The opinion was that of a naive justice. Today, the fact that the shortened barrelled shotgun and shortened Rifle is still illegal still stands only because it has zero use for civilian use. This does not mean it does not have some use in a Military application. In today's world, Everything has military application. You keep going back to that to try and make excuses why you should not be regulated from your fondest dreams.
Fact remains, the short barrelled Shotgun is BANNED in the Civilian world. Since our Military doesn't use it, it's one of the few real bans we have. Meanwhile, almost all the rest are Regulated. You keep trying keep the fear going by raising the Fear scare. Pardon me if I don't hide under my bed while clutching my guns in a deep sweat for fear of "Them" coming to seize all my guns. It's been a couple of hundred years and you gunnutters have been running around screaming that the sky is falling. Well, the sky is still there and no one has come for your guns. And, most importantly, they haven't come for mine. And until they come for mine, I doubt seriously that they are coming for your either unless you prove to be a real danger to those around you which wouldn't surprise me one bit.
