Back in 1939 (United States v. Miller), the supreme court ruled that citizens of the United States may hold the same weapons used by the military. This may be back in 1939 but it is still a supreme court ruling that still stands today. This is also the court case which outlawed short barrel or sawed-off shotguns. It would make more sense if they restricted handguns because most of the murders or accidents come from handguns, not rifles. Rifles make up 4% of all gun related deaths. I think the government is just trying to get at a small group of gun owners. They know if that they went after handguns they would wake a sleeping giant.
