This is the post I was responding to.

"There is no justifiable reason for an everyday American to possess Military grade weapons.

I will never understand gun nuts who misunderstand the 2nd Amendment Totally."

Please give me your definition of "military grade" weaponry, and we'll pull up the BATFE rulings, and see how they compare. I believe that my post will be a lot closer to current law/rule than yours. I also believe that your definitions will probably be more in line with the above poster of whom I quoted. While you're composing this, your breakdown of the 2d amendment would be appreciated, also. Again, I feel it will be in line with previous poster.
