Reply to comment by CalligrapherDizzy201 in Taxing rounds to punish gun owners by Laurajw12

The right to keep and bear arms is not just about guns. It also includes knives & other implements useful for self defense. In Caetano v Massachusetts, stun guns were deemed to be protected by the 2nd. Claiming that the people can own arms but not the means to make them useful is a 'too clever by half' interpretation.

Another article full of likely. But no decision.

If it's so obvious then, why hasn't any state passed legislation banning ammunition? I don't think it's even been proposed.
