The 2nd doesn’t lay out which sort of ammo we have the right to fire and when it was written they had no idea what soft of arms and ammo would be available centuries later.
Who said anything about you committing a crime?
What’s unreasonable about that reading? Are you just looking for a reason to argue?
Armor piercing bullets are illegal. The Constitution couldn’t possibly list the myriad hundreds of different ammunitions available.
Do you believe that armor piercing bullets being illegal violates the 2nd amendment?
Nope.
When you start being rational, I will be glad to debate you without the barbs.
Sure it does. Ammo is an integral part of bearing an arm.
I highly doubt you will considering I’ve been rational the whole time.
Still no universal agreement.
Why don’t you stick to reality. First off, RPGs are not arms (a fact that you have been informed of several times by several people) and secondly, no such thing as explosive firearm ammunition is available to anyone, not even the military.
The Sandy Hook victims were not threatening the shooter.
You could incite sedition with your computer … they should take it away from you.

Does that include all ammo or just a minimum of one type of ammo per format of arm? If I have a choice for my RPG of a conventional warhead or a mini-nuke can the government restrict me to just the conventional one?
For the same reason we don’t consider the 2nd amendment to only apply to the types of firearms that were available when it was written. Weapon’s technology is not stagnant and therefore if we are going to test the limits of the 2nd amendment it should be tested with reasonable hypotheticals.
It meets the definition. Black’s Law Dictionary defines the word arms as “anything that a man wears for his defense, or takes in his hands as a weapon.” An RPG is taken into the hands as a weapon.
Not yet… but you can’t say it won’t be in the future where, hopefully, our Constitution will still be in effect.
We were discussing the right to self defense. Most people wouldn’t categorize shooting down unarmed children as self defense.
Child porn too, just a click or two away, could happen any time. Wait, just ban the entire internet, that will fix it and the internet isn’t in the constitution.

Possession with intent to distribute is two violations, The drug itself is illegal to possess, therefore, what you intended to do with it is not pertinent. Guns, on the other hand, are not only legal to posses, the possession of them is Constitutionally protected right. It is beyond silly to compare gun possession with drug possession on any level.
And with child pornography, the crime has been committed before anyone possessed it. Perhaps you shouldn’t try to be so deep.
Upon a little more research, 563,000 Thompson 1928A1s (WWII varient) were built and 352,000 BARs total were built.
Seems I was right. Well under 1 million.
Again, ordinary does not mean everyone was issued the weapon, ordinary means it is a standard weapon in the arsenal of arms.
Just curious, but what type of ammunition has you so worked up? What ammo do you wish to be prohibited?
