Here's a quote we need to remember when we talk about what is 'arms' and who gets to keep them and whether we (Citizens) should have the EXACT same arms as the miltary.
Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788: " Every terrible instrument of the soldier is the birthright of an American. The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but where I trust it will ever remain, in the hands of the people." - Tench Coxe, Continental Congress
