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.

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
