It will soon be a moot point though, I think. Before long a simple firearm is not going to be of much account. Weapon technology is advancing and the weapons we are allowed to own are staying the same.
Correct, if we still had the "right to bear arms" I would be allowed to own my own Howitzer. But remember how much the Commies hate/fear gun ownership and remember what a weapon a 50BMG is. And remember that in the right hands a simple knife is a terrible weapon.
Free men do not have to ask permission. God Bless and Keep the United States of America. May it's citizen always be free men.
