Like it or not, it is a civil liberty that there is an individual right to gun ownership. Democrats have been tending to treat this issue as Republicans treat abortion. Find any way possible to skirt around the constitutional limitations in place on the government. It's wrong for abortion, it's wrong for gun rights. In both instances, the side doing it thinks they are doing it to save lives but really they are pushing to restrict the liberty of the citizens of the country in a way contrary to the ideals of the nation.

I am no English major, but from the wording of the second amendment, you clearly do NOT have a constitutional right to keep an assault rifle in your closet. 


Since the NRA loves the slippery slope argument, I will counter with another. Since you think this wording gives you a constitutional right to keep assault rifles in your personal possession, (it doesn't) then I should also be be able to keep a fully functioning Titan 2 thermonuclear weapon.
