.
A US Supreme Court decision some time ago ruled that Americans have a
right to own guns for self defense. However, self defense was not the
founding fathers' intention.
The second Amendment provides for an armed militia; which are not
professional soldiers, rather, citizen soldiers, e.g. minute men.
Minute men were not intended to be armed with government weapons;
rather, privately owned weapons that they can grab in a moments' notice,
and those weapons have to be suitable for warfare in the event it becomes
necessary to defend America from foreign invasion, e.g. the American
Revolutionary War.
Well; if China or Russia should decide to invade America; they won't do so
with shotguns and deer rifles. Professional soldiers will be coming here
equipped with large capacity AK-47's, semi automatic handguns, rocket
launchers, mortars, tanks, artillery, helicopter gunships, and high tech jet
aircraft.
Our minute men will be slaughtered should they attempt to fight back
without weapons comparable to theirs.
NOTE: Assault style rifles are not the same as actual assault rifles. Assault
style rifles are not fully automatic; they're semi automatic, i.e. in order to
make an assault style rifle fire successive shots, its trigger must be pulled
each time; viz: one pull, one shot.
