A ban on semi-automatic rifles and large capacity magazines is cited as “not reasonable” because they are “clearly suitable for militia use and are often ideal for self-defense.” To which “militia” (a civilian military force raised to support the regular army or raised to oppose the regular Army) is he referring? The group who took over the wildlife refuge in Oregon? I’d sure feel safer to know they have semi-automatic rifles. “Ideal for self-defense”? Name one example. Seems to me those have been used by mass killers of innocent students and churchgoers.

| Cops have full auto so called assault rifles. Why should we the people, the first responders to violent crime, be at a disadvantage when faced with armed criminals? |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
