Typical of you on the left who want to parse the constitution to fit your personal beliefs. I own several guns, perhaps as many as 60 or 70, and some of those are magazine fed rifles in various calbiers, makes and types. Yes, they shoot faster than a musket of 200 years ago when the Constitution was written. But, so is the distribution of the written word compared to how it was created 200 years ago. How about banning the internet becasue it is so much faster than how news traveled 200 years ago and sometimes the written word is incorrect. I now hear you say words don't kill but guns do. Not correct - people kill but the guns do not. But you have no choice about what part of the Constituion you recognize but you do have the right not to own guns just like I have the GUARANTEE of owning firearms because I choose to do so. BANG!
