Can someone tell me where in the 2nd amendment it says you can carry machine guns?

[Pat Mustard]

Why? I much prefer my current situation whereby my "right" to bear arms is much restricted, and as a result, I am a lot less likely to ever be shot.

What examples of the restrictions can you give?

I'll put up the relevant webpage here. Now I've never owned a gun myself but I do know quite a few people who own guns legally, and the measures described in the linked page are strictly enforced.

Because I'm pro-gun.

Fine so you place higher worth on your ability to own an unneccessary piece of equipment over the lives of other people. I suggest you take a long hard look at your personal morality.

"Well regulated" means in the vernacular of the time, that the militia is to be well outfitted with up to date weaponry.

Wrong, in the language of the time a "well regulated militia" meant that it was a militia authorised by the civil legal authority and subject to it's regulation. Like most "originalists" you don't give one single shit about what the framers of your constitution meant, you just pretend that your personal shit for brains opinion is the same as theirs.
