Of course you don't need one of those either. But it isn't about what you think I "need". So we let you take away all the semi-automatic rifles. Then you point out that we don't really "need" any other kind of rifles. The you point out that we don't really "need" any kind of gun at all. This may or may not be true, but there will be gun makers, and there will be a black market, and there will be guns in the hands of pretty much everybody except the law-abiding citizens.

I don't think anyone is suggesting going that far are they? The Second Amendment still holds until the people vote to change the constitution right?
Unless of course that amendment is restricted by the interpretation that the right to bear arms was only to allow for an armed militia in case of national emergency.
I noticed this earlier post got overlooked and still have the question open in my mind:

How does the unorganised militia become mobilised and therefore organised? Is it as per WWII and so on or is there another model?
