mike: "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."

it don't say nothin here about military weapons ...it just says we have the right to keep and bear arms, in the context of a well regulated militia. you may think it means something else. but that aint what hit says.

and if you think it pertains to military weapons only, many, myself included will disagree with you...

keep it simple and keep it safe...
