I would ask where you see in the Constitution that automatic firearms may be prohibited or in any way limited or restricted.
When the nation was founded, our founders had firearms, in some cases far superior to that of the military, including the British Army.
Hunting is NOT what the Second Amendment is about.
The 1934 NFA is actually in my opinion, unconstitutional.
These are the stances that give us ‘Red Flag’ laws…to try to appease the anti-gun left… and if you are subject to Emergency Protection Orders (or ‘Red Flag’ laws), you have no due process, you have no opportunity to cross examine witnesses, no chance to present evidence in your defense… and are found guilty and deprived of property WITHOUT Due Process… and punished.
The red flag law action, puts your name on a database, which may impact your right to carry, your right to purchase, and even have your carry permits revoked…
not to mention…
the ruinous harm done to your name and reputation.
That promotion you worked for, is denied … because of a EPO…
Your job prospects may be harmed, and you may be denied certain jobs… or your business may be harmed… your income and revenue damaged and decreased… all without any recourse.
And if the person lied… and made a false report… how do you prove it.
The harm to your name and reputation may be catastrophic, and may be irrecoverable.
The idea that any ‘gun control’ is acceptable is wrong… other than the only gun control that matters…
Hit What You Aim At
If you allow incremental removal of rights, eventually, the entire right is gone.
The Constitution does not grant our rights, it guarantees those rights. The Second Amendment does not grant the right to keep and bear arms, it is simply additional protection and guarantees for the right… the right that existed before the Constitution.
Government is instituted to secure those rights… and when government becomes detrimental to these ends, it ceases to have legitimacy.
When an act injurious to freedom has once been done and the people bear it, the repetition of it is more likely to meet with submission ~ Samuel Adams
We the people have a right to keep and bear arms… not just the arms the government determines we are allowed to keep and bear… or we could see our arms reduced to ‘sling shots’.
