Scalia's Menacing, Frightening Weapons

Conservative justice Scalia claims that local legislatures can regulate "menacing" hand held weapons as well as "locational limitations on where weapons could be carried". He went on to claim "there were legal precedents from the days of the Founding Fathers that banned frightening weapons." Frightening weapons? Machetes? Bull whips? The fists of a gangsta nigga? An HIV infected needle? WTF is a frightening weapon?

I don't know which Founding Fathers that Scalia is talking about. In modern police state america, it seems that everything can be regulated except criminal behavior and punishment. Now words, and even ideas, are banned as "frightening weapons" by by power hungry legislators. Where does it end? So far beyond the ideas of the Founding Fathers and limited government of, by and for the people that it has disappeared.

DHS has ordered body armor and 450 million rounds of 40 caliber hollow point bullets to use on americans. The military can only use ball ammunition on enemies. Isn't it a violation of the Hague Convention to use hollow point (expanding) ammo against enemies? Apparently, DHS wants to kill it's enemies rather than just wound them. I consider hollow point bullets to be "frightening weapons".

Just enforce the existing laws on the books and punish criminals instead of creating new laws that criminals routinely ignore. When DHS is not here, we need a "menacing handheld weapon", a "frightening weapon" to keep the thugs at bay. Tu capisci?
