First, the 2nd is not specific, and I believe that is on purpose. Once the principle of private ownership of arms is accepted, the responsibility to use them legally, is assumed. Second, it doesn't matter one whit what the platform of the weapon is, if it is used responsibly and properly. The left simply does not trust Americans to be responsible and lawful. After their performances post inaguration, they themselves certainly have no problem illegally using violence to force their agenda on others. I guess they figure we would do the same. By adding the specifics of what arm can be or can't be used, they are essentially rewriting law. They are using the judicial branch to do that. That's not their job. What a gigantic leap, to say any firearm is prohibited by the 2nd amendment, when there is absolutely no distinction of that sort at all. THAT is legislating from the bench. It is utter nonsense, that prohibiting any particular firearm will increase public safety in any way.
