Actually, it doesn't specify in common use by whom. Many read it as in common use by civilians, but it could just as easily be read as in common use by military forces, which would be more correct. And .50 cal are actually in common use by both.Heller seems to be limited to "weapons in common use." .50 cal. Rifles are not in common use. Because the gun grabbers don't see responsible trained veterans defending the community. They only see black and Hispanic gangsters shooting from moving vehicles. But they don't know how to write laws that cover the latter and not the former.Why are some people so afraid of law abiding citizens with guns? Why are some people so afraid of other who exercise a constitutional right? Moreover, as the Establishment they have an almost instinctive tendency to want to disarm everyone other than themselves or their minions. Establishments have always done that. They fear the weapons might be used on them in a revolution. There is also a conjecture that some in the Establishment are planning to do things to the rest of us that would provoke us to revolution. Their handling of the present economic crisis might be evidence of that. The message of the tea parties is making them very nervous. -- Jon ------------------------------------------------------------------- Constitution Society 2900 W Anderson Ln C-200-322, Austin, TX 78757 512/299-5001 www.constitution.org [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
