For those of you who lean toward the anti-gun believers, do a search for the "Militia Act of 1792". This is still the law of the land. You are a member of your State militia if your
-citizen of U.S.
-between 18 and 45 yrs of age
- NOT a member of the U.S. Armed Forces or National Guard
You are REQUIRED to
-register at your local board
-supply your with a rifle of the standard caliber of the U.S. Military and have 24 rounds of ammo, plus other equipment
-report for training (the word "regulated" in the 2nd Ament. meant " trained" in 1792)
Additionally, the Sup Ct. has already ruled that only those firearms that have a military, police or self defence use, are covered by the 2nd Ament. That means hunting rifles are NOT protected. Now, do you understand why the gun grappers are trying to create 2 groups of firearms? If they can ban the so-called assault weapons (a word that was created by the anti-gunners), then it is a simple task of getting local, state or the federal gov't to outlaw hunting rifles.
Well now you have my 2 cents worth on that subject.
