Since the 2nd Amendment makes NO DISTINCTION between armaments, please explain to me how this is completely warranted because of the firearm 'style'? Please remove your biased opinions from your reply. I want FACTS.

Cant you see this is the crap that is used to regulate ALL firearms?

There's a reason why it's termed 'reasonable' suspicion, and not factual suspicion. The term reasonable must be included in your assessment. It may be reasonable to open carry a high powered rifle in some small town in the mountains, bear protection, etc. But is it also reasonable for Joe Blow to carry a rifle around a school scaring kids?

The reason why there's so many regulations is because people are idiots, and do not act within reason. People do what they think they can do, not what they should do, within reason. This is why all these regulations get passed through, using idiots as a prime example of why we should protect all folks from these idiots.

I'm not saying I agree with that, I'll leave my opinion out of it, just saying though...
