So you are for restrictions then. Playing devils advocate, where does one draw the line?
This has been debated forever on the intarnet
I'm not for any restrictions on what most normal people call "guns" up to and including 30mm anti-aircraft type deals, and personally a 40mm grenade launcher would be fun for 4th of July at the 'ranch (I could
kind of understand why people would be leery of those in more crowded areas I guess), or whatever else you could come up with, but a nucular (snerk) device? Those can take out a major city with one 'oops', I'd say that's a line.
Plus, regular HE stuff doesn't dick up the environment for a loooooong damn time like radioactive weapons do.....
But if you're asking me if the "reasonable restrictions" as people use that phrase today are okay? Then no, those are NOT okay. It's pure folly to think that a metal box with a spring that is two inches longer than another metal box with a spring should possibly be illegal, or if a barrel is 15" versus 16", or if a stock folds or doesn't, or if a handgun has a loaded chamber indicator or not (All guns are ALWAYS loaded, duh!).
And I know I won't have too many, if any, friends with this - but the background checks are a load of crap too. If someone is out of prison then they've paid their debt to society and should have all rights restored, if they're too dangerous to be out on the street - DON'T LET THEM OUT!
