If “the people” of the Second Amendment can be denied arms based on them not being “in common use” for sport and for limited “self-defense” situations, what chance would they have resisting tyranny equipped with future weaponry that today would be considered the stuff of science fiction?

I’d like to say I agree with the author but the article was so boring and poorly written that I didn’t give a F-!

Another tempest in a teacup. We can’t have guns that would be too expensive for most of us to own if we could. We’ll just have to settle for the myriad machine guns that we can get our hands on.

Well, it wasn't very long and the points were all salient.

And I'll also point out that if those guns were available to the public at large they would be far, FAR less expensive. The only reason machine guns are prohibitively expensive is because of the availability of the legal ones to the public at large. And there are relatively few differences mechanically between them and regular rifles. Differences that can usually be mitigated by changing a single part. Say a sear.

The fact is the author is correct. As military weaponry becomes better and more technologically advanced we get further and further away from having the means to defend ourselves from government usurpation of our liberty. And one would need to be blind or stupid to not see the government is and has been since it's inception creeping ever closer to removing that liberty from the citizenry.

Founding fathers never envisioned tanks, planes and armored cars.
The military has been better equipped than the citizens since WW1 and recently Law Enforcement.
 
I agree with this article 100%.

I've said this before a bunch of times and I will continue to say it until the day I die or it happens.

There are a whole bunch of people in our government (at all levels) and and a whole bunch of people who aren't in our government per se but are absolutely our leaders who are absolutely convinced that the only reason Communism hasn't worked anywhere it's ever been tried is because America hasn't tried it.

I've also said this a bunch of times before, I am absolutely convinced the Communists (for lack of a better word) have already won the Culture War.

They run our schools, they're in charge of what our children are taught. They run our media. We pay them to pump their propaganda into our houses.

When the last Boomer or maybe Gen Xer dies, they'll ask our grandkids to turn in all of our rifles and firearms for their own safety and they'll do it.

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."

I’m good in that department. I’m building an A-10 in my back yard. 😎
