This was a good argument, right up to the point where he (falsely) asserted that the need of the people to fear an oppressive government has "subsided."
I suggest he ask the citizen-gunowners of New Orleans whether or not we citizens need to fear the oppression of an over-reaching oppressive government.
I will never agree that the founding fathers, were they present today, would choose to restrict civilian access to contemporary military firearms.
The wording of the 2nd Amendment precludes such a test. Equally, I maintain that the 2nd Amendment precludes any right of the government to consider potential criminal behavior in interpreting the 2nd Amendment.
See my tagline.
