When the constitution was written it didnt have modern vehicles in mind! Ban assault trucks!

@freemo You know, that actually raises a good point. You might have the right to bear arms... muskets, that is. You probably shouldn't have the right to own one of those modern weapons at all. ;)

@trinsec yes everything modern and dangerous should be banned.. cars, guns, SCUBA, drain cleaner...

@freemo How do you use drain cleaner as a weapon? I'm really curious now! SCUBA I can still see usable as a blunt weapon, especially those oxygen tanks!

@trinsec People have used it as a weapon in some quite brutal assaults. They usually fill a jar with it and splash it on someones face. It can blind and disfigure.

@freemo Makes sense! But it's not produced with the intention to use as a weapon though! Unless you count the war against clogged up drains!

@trinsec So guns are ok but only if they are produced with the intention that they wont be used a weapon? Seems like a rather arbitrary standard to me. Who cares what the person making it "intends"?

@freemo Well, what would fall under the right to keep and bear arms then? Dandelions?

@trinsec No you'd still have the right to bear an AR-15, but according to your "rule" the AR-15 would just have to be manufactured by a person who did not intend it as a weapon.

@freemo Nah, you misinterpret me. An AR-15's purpose is obviously not to cook with. It falls under 'arms'. The drain cleaner isn't falling into that category.

I don't have to make up those rules. I'm sure USA already has a whole list of categories for those kind of objects.

@trinsec So you worded yourself poorly. It has nothing to do with the intent of the person making it at all :)
