Americans should have access to Automatic Weapons because the police have access to them

That would require a society where tyranny is a distant memory and guns are in museums.

I always took the "well regulated" part of the Amendment to mean that type and/or quantity could be scrutinized by the Government and while it does protective the right to own, there could be limitations imposed

You’re wrong. And please define what an “assault weapon” is

The 2nd Amendment does not discriminate against types of firearms. It protects all firearms. Our founding fathers owned warships.

It guarantees the right to a well-regulated militia. A dude walking into a grocery store with an assault weapon and killing ten people isn't well-regulated, is it?

Nor should the Second Amendment be a foundation for criminal behavior, societal threats or fuel for insurrections.
