"First, do assault-weapons and high-volume magazines get any protection under the Second Amendment, or are they outside of it in the same way that a military machine gun would be?

Second, is such a flat ban unconstitutional when the weapon involved is highly popular, and thus is recognized as one that is in common use – one of the factors that the Supreme Court has said should be considered?

Third, is such a flat ban always unconstitutional because it allows no exceptions, and thus puts such a commonly used weapon completely out of the hands of even trustworthy, law-abiding citizens?

Fourth, is the fact that the weapon is very much like the one that the military has traditionally used on the battlefield (the M-16) an indication that it should not be allowed for the general public – that is, is it too dangerous?

Fifth, if the Second Amendment does provide some protection for private possession of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, how rigorous should the constitutional test be?  Should it be the tough test of “strict scrutiny,” or something less demanding?"

they are just waiting to replace scalia, and then advance some cases to the supremes

AllI know is that I would gladly give up and accept a ban on my AR15 in exchange for the right to CC my Glock 19 in all 50 states.  Right now, I am shopping for a full auto BB gun for my grandson. 

What's an assault-weapon and a high volume magazine?

Don't fall into make believe liberal BS descriptions of a semi auto rifle and a standard capacity magazine.

Yea!  Not to be a dick but stop using those words. "If you drive anything bigger than a Nissan Versa you are using an assault vehicle." 
I bought some assault boots the other day so I can really kill the terrain on my hikes.   Catch my drift?

What is my gun going to assault?  An ar15 or an AK pattern rifle is a semi-automatic rifle.  PERIOD

There are standard capacity mags and there a low capacity mags.  Nothing more.

I'm pretty sure the upper-double-digit folks can figure that one out too.

I dunno, "infringed" is a pretty fancy word..............

FOPA freedom was a compromise to limit new machine gun for civilians.

 Endorsed by the NRA and Signed by Regan.

Is this the same as a new super fast PC or phone being outside the 1st amendment, did it originally just cover pen and paper?   If there was an amendment  broadening the scope to include speech from all types of modern gizmos, then guess I'm not too smart.
