without all the vitriol and name calling;
Our rights are ours because we live. They are inalienable. They are not given us by our legislature.
The Second Amendment to the Constitution merely guarantees our rights of firearms ownership.
When it's abolished, our rights will still remain inviolate, we will simply have to kill to keep them.
That, in and of itself, is a perfectly proper reason to have capable military weapons.
What I'm getting at is your wording that we're "allowed" to have them, and I hope I've clarified our founding father's intent for you.
Take care,
Tom
