Such tests have occurred over 300 times before and this test is not the result of current world events.

    I’m surprised that they still use the name “Minuteman” because of the links to racist, white-supremacist, gun-nuts…
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.
