If our forefathers knew that our governments would have RPG's, nuclear weapons, missiles, etc., I don't think they would have said:
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.
Bullshit. I don't know much about guns but y'all are welcome to keep your pistols and muskets and such. Semi-automatic weapons and beyond...sorry. I don't think you have any more right to those than you do to a nuclear arsenal.
CLEARLY, our government has weapons that supersede the rights of the people to bear those Arms--the people's rights SHOULD be infringed upon for God's sake.
I don't think even most gun nuts advocate for access to fully automatic weapons and such. Or maybe they do. Freaks. I'd like all semi-automatic weapons banned in the US. Get rid of them. Nationwide. If it's a state by state decision, it's worthless.
I understand your argument and think it has merit.
What do you think about the implementation of strong and consistent gun control in all states, as an alternative to banning all semi-automatics? Not far enough?
I mean, the ease with which individuals can legally acquire arms (semi-automatics or any other arms) and the number of unassociated people packing them flies in the face of "well regulated militia", IMO.
