Why should that be limited to man-portable weapons. I disagree. Since the
ponit of the 2nd is clearly to keep the citizens armed to the point where they
can reject the government, then all ordnance available to the government MUST
be available to the citizens. I know that when we get touchy-feely with out
emotional side, it seems like weapons of mass destruction should be prohibited,
but I don't think that's in the spirit of the 2nd and its logic.
