They shouldn’t be. Anything that could be an effective weapon in the hands of the civilian militia is covered by the Second Amendment.
This is everything from small rocks to fully appointed AEGIS missile cruisers.
They are, banned and reviled as “KopKiller” bullets and thus regulated and tainted by the BATFE, and fearful paranoiac governments.
Whew! I was worried there for a second or two. Leon pinata is an idiot. Lucky for me I don’t have any “assault weapons”! Just semi-auto rifles with cosmetic upgrades. Sadly the were all melted when Mt. Pinatubo erupted and the pyroclastic cloud overtook them. Longing for the days of THE Donald. Rumsfeld that is. LOL!
Carson City. Noon. Saturday 1/19.
Actually, you are probably right, but for the sake of argument let's concede that F-35s and Aegis missiles are excluded. Let's assume that equipment exclusively made for use by the regular National Army is excluded.
Everything else must be allowed, including equipment used by local SWAT teams.
The Second Amendment does not have any "except" clause!
...Shall not be infringed ... as an absolute limitation on government is not a suggestion; I have always understood that, legally, "shall" is not a word subject to games or multiple interpretations.
If the Fed ever nuked one of it’s own cities, I fully expect a pissed off group of American citizens should be able to develop/steal their own nuke and do the same to DC.
