“We’ll see,” Scalia replied. “Obviously the amendment does not apply to arms that can not be carried. It’s to ‘keep and bear’ so it doesn’t apply to cannons.”
This is as close as he gets, but it does not necessarily mean that all hand held are subject to 2nd amendment.
Even Jody wouldn't want shoulder launched anti-aircraft missiles legal.

Has Scalia ever actually shot someone?
What does he personally pack?
Could he get his hand out of his arse long enough to fire a weapon?
It's a shame that his parents didn't have access to birth control.

There are so many factual errors in that crap that Dr. F posted, that I'll just stick to the one obvious one.
The M28 Davy Crockett Tactical Nuclear recoiless rifle is NOT a shoulder launched device.
The round alone without the launcher weighed 76 pounds!
It was fired from a tripod or from a vehicle mount but NEVER shoulder fired.
It was a 3 or 4 man crew weapon.
Read some FACTS here...http://nuclearsecrecy.com/blog/2012/07/20/king-of-the-wild-frontier/
But obviously neither Nathaniel Downes (the author of that steaming pile),
or Dr. F, care about facts.
Do you ever fact check anything?

So now we're back to low-yield tactical nukes. I bet if I graphed these threads somehow we'd have something that's rather spherical looking.
One thing we haven't argued about is Biological weapons. Hell, my little kid's daycare would probably scare the crap out of any Level-4 Bio lab administrator.
What separates a flu-infected sneezing fit in a crowded mall from the Anthrax killer's tool of choice? The sneezes would be several orders of magnitude more effective.
Sneezing Ban?

Trigger locks aren't as safe as advertised:
"Officers found a revolver near Kelly, then followed a blood trail to a residence in the 200 block of East 16th Street, where they found a large amount of blood inside, Erie police Lt. Kirk Werner said. Police said they learned that Kelly had reportedly tried to remove a trigger lock from the revolver with a screwdriver when the gun fired inside the residence and wounded him."

Rounds in the cylinder, trigger lock engaged. What's that? Condition two-and-a-half?
At least it worked as a booby trap, so trigger locks may have some utility after all.

I'm pretty sure that if Scalia or any other politician or anyone HERE on ST had a family member killed in Aurora they would think this through a little more. maybe even change their mind.
as a person who lost his only sister to a drunk driver when i was 5 in Detroit, i can attest to how a loss like that is DEVASTATING to a family.
So as you rant rave and spew think long a hard about what you would do if this tragedy hit your family..

Sorry about your sister.
Why is it that we accept 30+ murders by alcohol every DAY in this country and there is no public outcry?
Alcohol serves no purpose.
And yet, the general consensus is that we accept the "right" of most people to drink responsibly even though that kills 30+ people every single day of the year?
There's not even an Amendment protecting the right to drink booze.
