2. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT JAMES MADISON WANTED
WITH THE SECOND AMENDMENT. Explosive devices, hand grenades and lots of ammo in the hands of lunatics. By gawd its there constitutional right.

6. If the 2nd amendment give the right to violently overthrow the government
Then yes, all these devices should be legal, and more.

This is a common argument for gun-types, that only by personal ownership of firearms can the power of the government be checked.

personally, I think gun ownership has as much to do with protecting civil liberties as pornography has with procreation.

8. Bill of Rights does not give rights, it lists inalienable rights that government must protect. nt

5. Correction: American terrorist cell raided in Alabama
But of course, it would be inappropriate (no matter how correct) for this event to be described honestly.
