We need to quit shying away from the military origins of our favorite weapons. The Second Amendment isn't about hunting, paper punching, or defense against burglars and muggers, although it does indeed protect the right to keep and bear arms intended for those purposes.

The second amendment is about "Sic Semper Tyrannis" and as such it is specifically intended to protect military arms of ALL kinds.

I still have my old booklet WILLIAM’S converting military weapons to sporting use, from 1968.

After the conversions are complete it is still a military rifle dressed up a “sporting rifle”, and will still kill you just as dead.

The quandary over army surplus rifles began back in 1963 when JFK was murdered with a mail order Italian war rifle.
By 1968 they got a ban on the import of such “E-e-vil rifles!

Yet you could still get such rifles imported IF they had been issued to a POLICE FORCE, and not the military.

After the ban, it was found the real reason certain New England congressmen called for the ban on such rifles was they wanted to protect their home grown industry of Remington, Winchester and Savage.

Now such congressmen hate all American Made firearms and are driving them out of their states.
