Anti point: "do you read the 2A as an all or nothing provision (meaning any restrictions or banning of classes of weapons violate the 2A)? If not, what limits / regulations do you find acceptable?"
OK. Specifically regarding McDonald: My personal reading of the dissenting opinion on McDonald seems to opine that the 2A is not abridged when carving a specific niche applying to handguns. i.e: the RTKBA is not an issue if a State or Municipal gun prohibition means: "...well, we only disallow handguns".
The antis would say: well we disallow bazookas too, so how is the dissenting opinion ("it's OK to single out handguns just like bazookas") inconsistent with that?
Help me argue with a Liberal.
Thanks,
Les
