Original Note:
He’s proposing a ban on assault weapons which is only one type of arms. The Second Amendment is protecting an individual’s right to possess arms, the term “arms” is broad and could, in theory, be argued to include other types of weapons its not specific to assult weapons. https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/second_amendment#:~:text=Heller%2C%20the%20Supreme%20Court%20held,%2Ddefense%20within%20the%20home.%22 https://www.everytown.org/solutions/assault-weapons/
