I forgot to respond to one of your questions: Why would anyone need 30 bullets? It seems that the standard military magazine (not a clip...showing your weapon ignorance there) holds 30 rounds. Since the second amendment was meant for people to have weapons common to use at the time, it seems that having the same capacity as the military (militia) keeps the average citizen on par with the standing army. After all, the 2nd amendment is in place to keep the government in check by the citizenry should it become totalitarian again (as it was under King Geo. III). The 2nd amendment and the RI Constitution do not discuss hunting when it comes to the rights of citizens to arm themselves. Please read some history.

And please, don't anyone come back with nukes and tanks....they aren't common to the average soldier.
