- willcipriano 4y agoEither way as the court decided today it applies to all "bearable arms", I guess you can't really bear a hellfire missile, M1-Abrams Tank or an atomic bomb, but I don't see how fully automatic weapons aren't bearable. Viral\chemical weapons seem super bearable, but I bet they would call them something tricky like munitions instead. Really the law doesn't have much internal consistency. People like to say it's complicated, but I think it's just broken.
