Do NFA rules apply for SHTF?

[Esq.]

Those that would make that argument hold the illogical belief that the 2nd Amendment offers an absolute right to everyone within US borders to arm themselves as much as they want, and that has NEVER been true. The Founding Fathers didn't believe prisoners got to keep weapons, for instance.

The entire BoR is subject to limitations and regulations. You don't get 20 wives because you have freedom of religion, you don't get to incite violence because of freedom of speech, and you don't get to keep smallpox because you have the right to arms. Where the line is drawn is a point of debate, not a clear line.

Rights are always a balance. Put me in the camp though that depriving people of AR15's and standard capacity magazines- is a clear violation of the Second Amendment- and one I would resist strongly.
