As noted government has the authority to regulate the right to bear arms. What kind of life -- and in what state of the Union --does one have to live that military-style weapons are the only reasonable means to defend yourself or your property? I live in a city. When I need defense I call the cops and they send me someone who not only has a gun but knows how to use it better than I ever will.
My people tried to call the cops in 1992. They either didn't show up or showed up and arrested citizens trying to protect their livelihood from getting torched. Nothing against the cops, just when shit hits the fan, it splatters all over and sometimes the cops aren't there to protect you.
Though I do find it humorous that you say go to the cops when you have lady liberty being arrested on your flag
