I am very curious if you know what the following means?
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
Just in case you don't, it does not mean you may use your .243 Remington while deer hunting.
The 2nd Amendment was written to ensure the "God" given inherent rights of law abiding citizens of our country to "keep and bear" arms to use against a government that would use a "well regulated militia" to take any rights away from our citizens that were "Guaranteed" under our constitution.
You personally may not see a need for a AR-15, which is fine, but to limit a law abiding person like myself, who has never even had a speeding ticket in my 33 years on this planet, from owning one is extremely disturbing IMHO.
Any law abiding citizen should be able to own any weapon they want, no matter the caliber, no matter how many rounds it holds.
If the truth be told the chances of killing someone while driving your vehicle is many times greater than myself having an accident using an AR-15. The only time my any of my guns would be used to harm another person would be in self defense or protection from a totalitarian government.
I will make a deal with you, you give up all of your vehicles, and I will give up my AR-15.
