I was asked this by a guy at work who is a fellow gun owner and hunter right after the 94 ban. His view at the time was that hunting and target shooting were the only legitimate uses of firearms and a 5 round mag cap was probably excessive. I told him that I thought a citizen should be allowed anything the military has - up to and including nukes. Mostly I was trying to yank his chain and boy did I!

Since then we've had several thoughtful discussions and he agrees that military "style" weapons are the type the 2nd ammendment is referring to but he's still sitting on the fence about NFA weapons. I'll keep working on him but still try to get a rise out of him every now and then
