Another thing that get me is referring to civilian firearms as "weapons"in everyday usage. Any instrument used for fighting or any means of attack is the definition of a weapon according to Webster. None of my firearms are used in this context and it sends the wrong meaning to the non firearm owning public.
Some of my weapons absolutely DO exist for that precise usage, and that is an important point relevant to something Dr. Meyer said before.
The Second Amendment is not about modern sports.
Stop making excuses and avoiding the purpose of the Second Amendment.
Won't work.
In fact, it is a surrender of the Second Amendment to try to make nice by the usage of modern sporting rifle.
So the Second Amendment protects what? Not "sporting" anything. "Arms." Arms are weapons and always have been synonymous, and reading the 2nd A. explains that pretty clearly.
I DO own some sporting arms but most of my firearms are not sporting in nature. They are weapons.
