Kadath,

Where to begin is very simple. Like all other amendments, the Courts end up what is deciding what are reasonable restrictions on them.

An example of this is restrictions of "freedom of speech" (e.g. you cannot yell "fire" in a crowded theater).

I think it is perfectly reasonable to restrict anything that is a "crew serviced" weapon and above.

That being said, when I posted this exact same question on a gun board last year, many felt that they SHOULD be allowed to own anything they could afford, including rockets, and fully functioning fighter aircraft and tanks (with the possible exception of atomic weapons).

My thought was and still is, that IF a revolution is needed, guns will liberate those heavier weapons from the national guard armories where most are kept.
