Obama Signs Bill Giving Him Armed Protection For Life

There were privately owned cannons back in those days. Don't forget things like "Letters of Marque and Reprisal". For me the 2nd amendment is already regulated enough. No automatics, bombs, tanks, or nukes. So leave my semi-auto alone.

Truth is, you can still own a small cannon if you can pass the back ground, pay the fees and use it under certain conditions for celebratory purposes only.
I would imagine the liability insurance would be a nightmare.
All of these larger weapons discussions just further cloud the current 2nd amendment issue. We are talking about firearms...semi auto pistols, semi auto rifles and semi auto shot guns. The fact that I cannot own a full auto if I want one is enough regulation for me.

Does anyone think that the Founding Fathers INTENTIONALLY used the term "arms" instead of muskets, swords and canons because they knew if the Republic stood long enough, better and more advanced weaponry would be produced, and their clear intent for the people to avoid government opression would be protected by the generic term included in the bill? And they also provided a process for changing that bill if the people for some reason demanded such a change.
That process is NOT an Executive Order. This President has already shown a proclivity to ignore laws he does not deem advantageous to his party or his term. I really want him to try and use an EO to infringe on peoples RIGHTS.
