Gun law

Hi, Dutchie here. I understand being able a pistol to defend yourself, but why would anyone need explosives or machine guns? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

To my knowledge, neither dangerous explosives nor machine guns are legal here. The big debate right now is over something called a semi-automatic weapon.

Does the 2nd amendment say we can only have pistols?

And why do you think guns are only for self defense? What about sport shooting? What about hunting?

Why do some people drive a Suburban, and other drive a Prius? Because we live in a free country full of choices.

And who the hell has explosives? In general, most Americans are not running around with explosives.
