I'm not. There's a balance.
So yes, I very much am in favor of "reasonable" legislation that regulations access to leathality amplification systems. My definition of "reasonable" is very different then the Democrats definition of "reasonable". Indeed, we've already exceeded much of what I define as "reasonable". I'm probably pretty close to your definition of "reasonable"; but maybe not; depending on how you answer the above.
I know this was directed at Stan, but here is my 2 cents worth. No, I'm not in favour of vending machine rocket launchers, nerve gas, machine guns or even back pack nukes LOL. It would be quite a show during the 4th of July if that were a reality
I don't want irresponsible people to have any firearm, let alone violent criminals. That said, I am also in favour of mandatory training for firearm ownership, which probably goes against many people's belief on this forum. This could be misused like any well intention law but it has worked with hunter safety.I believe any person, "who is trained and has proven to be a responsible citizen" should be able to own any firearm made. NFA owners, "have historically" been the most well behaved firearm owners period. Responsibility should always come with consequences. The lefts assault on our 2ndA is not about saving lives, but about control and power. That is a different argument.
