And here's how the "Constitutional Genius" Joe Biden sees it:
During the discussion, Biden also explained his views on the Second Amendment being that individuals have the right to own a weapon for self-defense, hunting and recreational shooting. However, he said he didn’t believe the right is extended to automatic weapons.
“Just as you don’t have an individual right to go and buy an F-15 if you’re a billionaire with ordnances on it, just like you don’t have a right to buy an M1 tank, just like you don’t have a right to buy an automatic weapon, those judgments have been made that there is no societal, no reasonable societal justification or constitutional justification for owning them,” Biden explained.
Biden admitted that new gun safety laws won’t solve all crime, but feels that large-round magazines simply aren’t necessary.
But you do have the right to own any of those. Some require registration in one Governmental department or another, but you can own any of those things he mentioned. As a matter of fact, the "Automatic weapon" he apparently referred to is probably any full automatic weapon that is currently regulated by the Mann Act of 1934, where you must buy a Federal Stamp after undergoing a federal background check, and must keep the weapon either on your person at all times or secured in a place that doesn't allow access by any other non licensed party.
And on the Plane (F-15) or the tank, there's no real restrictions on ownership of either, other than the necessary FAA regulations that must be met if you intend to fly the plane (of course they're kinda thinskinned about hanging sidewinders and GBU's under the wings) . . The Tank? If you can afford it, it's no different than a 2013 Caddy CTS-V. License it and insure it if you're gonna drive it on the street, or you don't have to if you're just gonna go play in the dirt . . No different than an army surplus Jeep or Humvee!
Y'see, ole Joe, much like his boss, doesn't know sh*t about the Second Amendment or why it was written . .
But anybody with a lick of sense can see that it was written to protect us from dipsticks like Obozo and Biden . .
