personal arms as the Military would use. That was the original constitutional intent, quite evident in the related documents and Militia Acts of the time. The Militias were the 1st line of defense for our liberties: "...Militia to to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasion". The Militias HAD to be most effective, to better limit the need for a large standing army.

M4s, M16s, M1As, M9s, hi-cap mags, bayonets, etc. would all be mandatory, no city control ordinances or local laws against possession, etc. etc.

Restrictions would deal with caliber and support-related accoutrements - to try to keep a commonality - again for effectiveness.
