Jeez! Okay, folks. Ha, this is one heck of a welcoming. Thanks for the comments. I'll make sure when navigating this forum to keep my questions to myself.
@2hawk: This is the "Second Amendment" forum so it seemed like the best place to post the topic. And by the way, I did google whether or not the second amendment "technically" covers grenades and whatnot and came up with nothing. I already know it has been made illegal by the Government, but last I checked the founding fathers created the Constitution with the idea that it was rules that the Government had to abide by. So, no handejector I'm not going to ask the good ol ATF if I can purchase a bomb. No, Steve, I'm not going to make a visit to the Police Station either, but I appreciate your sarcasm and accusations.
@jlrhiner: Thanks. Someone who understands. I do want to learn and that's why I came here. I knew people here were more knowledgeable about the Second Amendment than I. I understand people are on their guard and more sensitive considering the fact that, and this month in particular, the second amendment has come under some harsh and illogical criticism from politicians, the mainstream media, and folks who don't understand how important our Constitutional rights are, but I didn't come here with the intentions of stirring up the hornets nest, so I apologize on my part for any misunderstanding. I understand your point and in a matter of fact that's the exact point I make to the folks that I know who are convinced a ban on assault rifles is the solution to all of the violent gun problems. I'll tell you the solution, stop restricting law abiding citizens from buying guns and actually make it harder for criminals or anyone to steal law abiding citizens' firearms. All you have to do is educate the consumer about the extent and seriousness of gun theft and maybe we'll have less of that. Criminals get the majority of their guns illegally by stealing it from folks or buying them on the black market (whom of which also stole from good folks anyway.) We do need a serious discussion on gun safety violence, but banning and ammo caps won't solve a darn thing.
Back to the topic, I've only seen a few posters whom actually address my question and thus far it seems the general consensus is that, yeah, technically the 2nd amendment does support bombs that we could carry. Tanks and things like that, humans can't carry (bear) so technically they aren't covered by the 2nd Amendment. I know the intent of the second amendment is for us, the people, to fight back and defend ourselves against Govt oppression and whatnot, which makes it pretty suspicious when its the Government that is trying to restrict and ban guns. The best way to oppress someone is to take away his guns. The founding fathers said so, the British oppressors said so, Ghandi said so, heck, even Hitler said so. We've already seen the current President sign a bill authorizing himself the power to detain people without due process, and we saw the former President sign a bill authorizing the Govt the power to invade peoples privacy without their knowledge or consent. But anyway, that's just my thoughts on that.
So, if someone asks me: "Why are bombs banned if the 2nd amendment is supposed to protect your right to keep and bear arms?" I guess I should just say: "It does, but the Government took that right away.." So I suppose the Government has already infringed on our right to keep and bear arms...
Anyway, happy holidays folks, hope you all have a wonderful Christmas today.
