Just amongst ourselves, if we could write or define gun ownership rights tomorrow, how would we define it?
I for one believe anyone and everyone has the right to own any firearm or small arm equal in capability and lethality to modern military standards including machine guns, suppressors, armor piercing, etc.
Assuming however that the gun market was that opened up legally (and rightfully), should there be any precursors or qualifying factors to who can legally purchase anything of the sort? Are background checks at the point of sale considered "reasonable"? Should there be any mandatory training class of sort required prior to the purchase of any fully-automatic weapon? Should handgun or rifle sales be restricted to a certain age?
The bottom line, in an ideal America, would the 2A be defined as an open and unregulated market to any and all arms? Or are there any standards, regulations, or requirements along with it that would be considered "common sense" or "reasonable"?
