Whereas the second amendment recognizes our right to bear arms, what -- if any -- restrictions of this right do you support? For example, most reasonable people probably agree that the 2A covers private possession of a bolt action 22LR rifle. A somewhat smaller number would agree that it covers a 38 revolver, while fewer would say it covers a semiauto AK-47 with a drum mag and even less might say it covers full-auto weapons. A handful would say it applies to grenades, mortars or missiles, but maybe some people would not consider any restriction valid.
I mean this as an honest and legitimate question. I am trying to form my own opinion and am having a hard time coming up with a clear place to draw the line and a consistent rationale that explains why I'd think one thing should be legal but another thing shouldn't be. So, I'd like to consider your opinions.
