I support gun ownership as well. Some of the laws to me do not make sense though. As for my ability to own a rifle/shotgun but I am not allowed to own a pistol. That is one that I do not understand. If it is my constitutional right as an adult to own a firearm, then why at the age of 18 am I not allowed to own a pistol? Automatic weapons I don't have as much of a view on as I am not an avid gun owner/ shooter. To me an automatic weapon is a waste of ammunition and would never own one just because I wouldn't want to have to pay for a box of ammo every minute or so, but that is just my opinion so I can't really speak on my thoughts of automatic weapons, however as your rights are worded, if it can be proven that you will abide by the law and be a normal, sane, peaceful person you should be able to own your automatic rifle/pistol.

You can't be drafted.
You're saying that you only care about the rights you would exercise- "...but I am not allowed to own a pistol. That is one that I do not understand." and "Automatic weapons I don't have as much of a view on ... and would never own one."
Also, you don't have to prove that you will obey criminal law- the government has to prove you haven't or won't according to the ruling.
