I'm sorry, but what does this have to do with my post in regards to THE RIGHT TO SELF DEFENSE and principle of THE RIGHT TO BE UNMOLESTED? It is very clear in that article I quoted why some weapons should be discriminated against based on their chance to cause harm to innocents. You are clearly offering a strawman argument to evoke a response from posters to defend their right to own "any" weapon, just so you can point out later how ludicrous that is; your anti-gun sentiment shines through! Try re-reading this and realize just how anti-gun you come across:

So if one can argument that it is not a good idea to allow people to own patriot missiles or mortars i can argument that you can also just draw the line at knives, or clubs instead of automatic rifles.

So or you agree with me that the 2nd amandment is really outdated and makes as much sense as literally following the bible or you don't agree and think it is really necesarry to defend yourself, but then you should also be consequent and allow bigger weapons to be bought.

Giving ultimatums that citizens should be allowed to have any type of weapon OR that the 2nd amendment is broken is the pinnacle of your strawman argument right there. By reasoning citizens should be allowed to have their own "big weapons", and by this I assume you mean nuclear warheads, and you based that on your interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, then I find it hard to believe any rational conversation about gun ownership can be produced using such extremes.

Besides, it seems President Obama disagrees with you: assault weapons ban.
