Default RE: Free NRA Membership

As far as assault weapons are concerned, why can't I own a gun that's just fun to shoot? The second ammendment doesn't say anything about our right to keep and bare "hunting Rifles".

Well, if you want to be technical about it the 2nd amendment doesn't say anything about owning cannons, anti-aircraft missiles, etc. yet I don't see the government allowing just any guy on the street to own them. Modern weaponry has come a long way from the muzzleloaders that were the norm when the 2nd amendment was written. You guys are foolish to think that society will be allowed to own anything they please. There are plenty of gun laws on the books already and I have NO doubt that there will be more. Lots of people cling to their beloved 2nd amendment in this country, but these days there are probably more that see it all a bit differently. Being allowed a gun for personal defense is one thing, but being allowed to own weapons that could wreck plenty of havoc is another story. I have a good hunch that this is how people will view gun ownership in the future in this country.
