These Guns are already Banned in America

   Surprise, America, your guns have already been taken. If it is the gun used most on the battlefield, its banned.
   Already.
   You speak of how a well-regulated militia is necessary for the security of a free state, and how, therefore, we cannot ban guns. Which guns would you be using if you were to fight in such a militia, if you were to fight in the military? Well, which ones? Wouldn't that be the machine guns?
   They're illegal, have been, for more than 30 years, at the least.
   And, nobody had to pry them from your cold, hard hands. You put up no such fight.
   If you are to own a fully automatic weapon, it must have been made before 1986. So, yes, there are some automatics out there, legally, but, not many.
   Semi-automatics? Across the U.S., they generally remain legal. They, too, could be used in war settings. So, do we say that as long as we don't outlaw them, we maintain our gun-totting rights, and the Second Amendment has not been violated? Or, do we say that if we can ban machine guns without violating the Second Amendment, then we can ban semi-automatics, and rid ourselves of them, as well?
