The Second Amendment protects some bladed weapons, and not just firearms
By Eugene Volokh June 9

The New Jersey machete decision is important because it rejects a “spontaneity” requirement for arming yourself at home (the state’s theory that you could pick up a weapon against an imminent attack, but you can’t come to the door with the weapon just in case). But it’s also important because it reaffirms that the Second Amendment protects not just guns but other weapons as well.

If you need a second magazine, its time to call in air support.

God created Man, Col. Sam Colt made him equal, John Moses Browning turned equality to perfection, Gaston Glock turned perfection into plastic fantastic junk.

Interesting interpretation of the 2A.

Back in the day that the BOR's was written, NOBODY would have thought that a knife needed to be protected. LOL.
