Meanwhile, Texas just approved should launched missiles and anti-tank weapons as a hunting class weapons….siting the 2nd Amendment from 1787 and the right for a well organized militia to bare arms…..even though arms at that time were MUSKETS!

First off the Texas bashing shows your immaturity. Second, I will challenge you the same way I have challenged anyone else who brings this up. Show me exactly where in the 2nd Ammendment the word musket appears. At the time the 2nd Ammendment was written muskets were the main line military weapon and actually many civilians had the superior weapon in their rifles that, although slightly slower loading, could fire much more accurately and over longer distances.
