Ducimus:

It completely redefines the second amendment.

When the 2A was written was such a weapon like AR15 available to general public? Not being a smart arse here, just what kind of weapon was discussed if any at all when the 2A was written? The powers that be look to have a broad definition at their disposal.

As far as the military, government contracts for improved weapons are lucrative. I do not believe our troops would be using Viet Nam era weapons in the latest wars we have had in Iraq, etc. I could be wrong. If so, let me know. It is in my experience the military is unaffected by civilian laws.
