Even apart from that particular example, as a non-owner of firearms who may choose in the very near future (legally) to carry such on my person, in studying the myriad of laws regarding what I may and may not posess (or "bear" as in 2nd ammendment), assuming I am awarded a license from the State granting me that privilege, it is abundantly clear that rational cohesion has been entirely lost in the realm of law as it relates to the constition.
Our rights are in fact being infringed completely. It's terrible.
The 2nd ammendment was passed so we could take up arms and defend ourselves against a tyrannical government, right?
Well, owning a rifle with a max limit of 5 rounds in the magazine and a gauge limit decreed by the government is undoubtably pretty far from the original intent.
Owning whatever I want, from a zillion-round .22 to a bazooka, howitzer, or a SAM seems more inline with the intent. Armor piercing ammo, full-auto, the works.
Even the manufacturers have been strangled. I've been surfing the web to find a rifle, shotgun, and pistol. Nearly every manufacturer lists "military & law enforcement issue" equipment, and then a section that may as well be labeled "oh, and we also make a couple little things -- peashooters in comparison -- that we may sell to those other people."
But this is just the rambling of a computer science geek who used to be too busy working & paying taxes to notice that all his rights were being stripped as he stupidly trusted that that the constitution was being used as a standard against which other laws need to be checked for coherence. And I'm preaching to the choir, I'm sure.
