Just a question for those of you who support no gun control legislation:
At what point do "arms" stop being protected by the constitution?
Rifles?
Handguns?
Automatic weapons?
Gernades?
Rocket Propelled Gernades?
Mortars?
Artillery?
Patriot Missles?
ICBMs?
I mean, obviously there must be SOME point where people aren't allowed to have weapons. I'm just curious where everyone draws the lines.

Who says there must? I've seen the argument that since the word "bear" is in there it should only protect things that could actually be
carried by a person, but this isn't really born out by either the comments of the framers or historical reality. Did you know that there were quite a few
privately owned warships in the US back then?
