The US 2nd Amendment mentions "a right to keep and bear arms"..

Really?

Can a US resident/citizen buy a functioning 155mm howitzer? How about at bazooka? Perhaps a Surface to Air Missile? (no, and quite rightly so)

All are "arms", and the 2nd amendment makes not mention of "guns" (ray or otherwise).


The reality is that there are lots of issues with the US the 2nd amendment, and both sides are operating under a lot of "presumptions".

(the fact is the US Military has great, unchallenged sway on this, and could with some effort ban large magazines, automatic weapons, etc.)
