It is somewhat vague and I am not arguing that anyone should have military style/type weapons... But they could easily have left that part out too...The thinking was quite different then than it is now there is no doubt nor any real surprise in that.

Personally I am for good reasonable gun control, there is no reason to need anything like an AR-15.but there are a lot of things that have no really compelling reasons to own other than want...And I believe that what people want can be a reason to allow it as long as it does not infringe nor threaten others.. The need for stricter gun control deeper background checks and waiting periods lengthy enough to carry out those checks is beyond doubt ...Ways to stop mentally disturbed people from obtaining any type of gun needs to be seriously addressed much sooner rather than later.... Also prosecute any and all that attempt to bypass background checks.

There is only one entity capable of undertaking that task and since it is a congress sponsored by the NRA it won't happen until we vote them out. Some states are doing it on their own...
