My 2nd amendment argument

17. Sure, but "militias" doesn't mean every tom, dick and harry, crazy or not, who wants...

and assault weapon should be able to get one.

It's pretty obvious the Second Amendment is intended for a well regulated militia to have access to arms to protect a free state, not for every nut with a gun fetish who might get triggered one day to use it to kill as many people as he or she can before being stopped.

The 2nd's phrasing should be updated so it's meaning is not ambiguous, so it's clear that is was directed towards well-regulated militia, which is now our National Guard.

Right now it's interpreted in more than one way, Scalia's Heller decision in 2008 insured that anyone, even those bordering on insanity or already over the edge, can stock up on as many weapons, rapid firing, military-style assault ones too, as they can get their murdering hands on.
