is it reasonable to think that the gov would use nukes, RPG's, and tanks against citizens on their own soil? This effectively shuts down any future machine gun ownership because they are not 'in common use' by the people anymore. Military weaponry of all sorts is effectively prohibited and that wasn't the intent of the founders.
