They never taught me anything about the Second Amendment in school--which I think we can agree was probably by design--and I hardly ever thought about it. But then again, I never thought about it because it was a time when it was simply unquestioned that you could acquire and possess any number and type of firearm you wanted.

Before you say it, yes I know that even way back when there were many restrictions on types of firearms you could own but no one talked about it because it wasn't a big issue in the public consciousness. And yes, I strongly hold that the NFA, GCA, parts of FOPA and any other such should be repealed an blatantly unconstitutional. And double yes, I think that anyone advocating such restrictions should be warned against and scrutinized for treason.
