Article. VI.

Heller upheld the federal ban on automatic weapons, didn’t it?
We have 4 justices that are over 74 years old. Going to be interested to see how many retire during Obama’s term.

Hi - I am a supporter of the second amendment. Not a gun owner (but think about buying one).

My question is this - and I hope someone can help me:

Do staunch defenders of the second amendment believe there should be any limits to the right to bear arms? I mean, to take it to an absurd level, should individuals be allowed to own a nuclear bomb? And if the answer is no, then isn’t it just a question of where to draw the line?

Thanks Freeps - your thoughts appreciated.
