1 - handguns for personal protection and rifles/shotguns for hunting; and,
2 - military weapons such as AR-15s that should be limited to military and police use only.

And the type 1 guns should be regulated like cars, meaning required training, licensing and insurance. Concealed carry should of be highly regulated and permitted only when a true need can be demonstrated.

I think this would fully comply with the Founder’s intent when they included “well-regulated militia” in the language of the Sevind Amendment.
