No, it's pointless. It just gives the Senate the power to decide what low potency is, which they could twist into whatever they please.

"The right to bear arms shall not be infringed" would be a better amendment, and one I could stand behind.

BTW, Dibble, you need to help us vote out FDR in the presidential survivor thread.

What is really meant by "low-potency explosives"?

Could someone please clarify this? What types are being included into this category?

I've interpreted it like this(and this wording was my idea, just ask Peter Bell):
high potency explosives are atomic bombs.
mid potency explosives are things like conventional warheard and freefall bmbs
low potency explosives are the likes of RPGs and artilery grenades.

Then why does the amendment say the Senate can define it? Sounds like a pretty useless protection, when the Senate gets to decide what it is.

You said the wording was your idea. By the way, I'm going to kill the next person to spell the word amendment wrong with a low-potency explosive.
