This thought was expressed to me one morning, and I would like to hear your opinions, and especially those with a legal background.
The Second amendment to the Constitution reads:
Can the ammunition be considered an integral part of a firearm ?? Seeing as the firearm is useless without ammunition, and the ammunition needs a vehicle to function properly, ... wouldn't these two be considered one and the same ??
