M-16 rifle

One young captain s attention wanders shortly as he thinks of some of his Special Forces personnel. Bitter memories of friends cut down by hooded snipers, cowards who fire from the windows of ordinary homes, continue to haunt them. Even when they see them run inside a building, the need to minimize collateral casualties forces the coalition units to hold their fire.

Gun rights advocates suggest that the same reference to the militia might imply that an individual would have the right to carry a weapon that if of a military nature (such as a fully automatic AK-47 or M-16 rifle).
