I always have to chuckle at those guys who give their opinions on what the framers did or did not know.
Your response was right on.I felt compelled to write a response, something I normally do not do. (That whole arguing with fools admonition and all.)
^this really annoys me
"I just don’t think the framers were able to imagine automatic machine guns, Uzis, Glocks, assault rifles or AK-47s." -Sciano
let's take this one firearm at a time
automatic machine guns- besides being reduntant because the word "automatic" is unnecessary and implied when the term machine gun is mentioned. Sciano seems to be unaware of the NFA 1934 and the hughes amendment which we all know made true machine guns a toy for the rich. Translation: our streets are not flooded with machine guns.
Uzis- I assume that in Sciano's world this applies to any semi-auto SMG variant. Again, he doesn't know anything about the NFA.
Glocks- I guess glocks are deadlier than other semi-auto pistols? Of course I'm sure he is referring to the evil Glock 19.
Assault Rifles- can't hear a gun grabber without hearing this made-up term. This is another can of worms.
AK-47s- When was the last time somebody went on a high profile shooting spree with an AK variant? I thought AK-47 was a synonym for assault rifle to these people.
Michael Sciano needs to educate himself. If he took the position of repealing the 2nd Amendment instead of spewing the same crap all of the other gun-grabbers do, he would sound like less of a jackass.
Some of the comments are very well written. Actually makes it sound like some gunowners might have actually gotten more than a third grade education.
(Sarcastic comment above, for help in identifying it pm me)

I'm aware that an assault rifle is a select fire rifle chambered in an intermediate powered cartridge. But you're right, I should have use the term assault weapon. I forgot about the North Hollywood shooting.
Great respone 88GT. I also enjoyed reading the comments from 'Jason', who effectively shuts down a pro-gun control commenter.
