So really what you are saying is nothing should be regulated, people are still going to rape, murder, drink, do drugs, drive drunk, have thier dogs crap in your yard, speed, go the wrong way down one way streets , ect.. wether there are laws or not against them if they really want to . It should be every man for themselves and survival of the fittest .... sheer anarchy .

If you cant protect your self, family, or property then you have no business in a free society.

so lets just regulate every single facet of our daily lives instead. or maybe we can let people govern themselves without government intervention. |

ALL weapons should be unregulated, up to (but excluding) nuclear arms. Explosives should be properly stored, and dangerous handling withing a populated area should be met with hefty fines and prison time.
Nuclear arms should be regulated approximately to teh point that handguns are regulated in NYC. It should be hard to get a permit, and you have to prove that you have somewhere to keep it that is far enough away from others that it doesn't pose a viable threat to society. Also, perhaps you should have a valid use for it - i.e. large-scale demolition. IOW, if I live 10 miles from the nearest person, no one should be able to tell me I can't keep a 55 gallon drum of nitroglycerin in my living room. If I am stupid enough to do it, I'm smart enough to deal with the consequences... |

All firearms should be legalized and available to law abiding citizens.
Remember what the 2nd amendment was all about, viz the ability of the citizens to protect themselves from a tyranical government; hence they needed and still do need weapons of the same quality and type as those that the potentially tyranical government has. Does this mean RPG's, full auto, tanks, etc. The simple answer is YES. That is what the second amendment is all about. Is this a radical position to take? You bet it is but the second amendment was a radical position to take as well. Remember Jefferson's musing about the necessity of a revolution every couple of generations. I think he was serious. And no revolution will ever succeed when one side has all the advanced weaponry and the other is shooting BB guns. America was founded by some very radical fellows who believed that freedom from state control was the number one priority; many gave their lives so as not to have some government tell them just what weapons they could own or could tax them to death. I think we have all grown a bit soft and that is not a good thing. |

Would you all really feel comfortable with unregulated machineguns?
Haven't you all met "Gun Owners" who are too stupid to safely operate a gun? How would you feel if they were able to buy automatic weapons? How would you feel if these people bought a machine gun: Redneck Farmer Local Drug Dealer Bi-polar Highschool student Neo-Nazi activist Disgruntled post-office worker How would you feel if the media brodcast this 24/7 so every Tom/Dick/Harry went out and armed themselves? I think the pleasure of full-auto ownership is clouding your judgement...

You really seem to know a lot about me just from reading rants on the internet! Maybe you should come to down to meet me and the Georgia crew at an ARFCOM group shoot... That is not true. Take a look at some of the lunatics in the House and Senate. I don't think this concept could work in America. There are more ignorant individuals than intelligent ones. You cannot have a system that governs itself when a large portion of your population is unable to revolve conflicts, think, and reason on an adult level... |

Last I saw the United States wasn't full of Khat chewing, malaria infested people living off of $300 yearly income either. This isn't Somalia, and there is no way you're going to mass 100,000 redneck farmers, local drug dealers, bi-polar highschool students, neo-nazi activists, and disgruntled post-office workers in one fight against a small group of decent, hard working Americans. It would definitely be the other way around, sorry if this kills your fantasy. |

IF this was a problem it wouldve been a problem before 1934, 1968, and 1986 when the various machine gun legislations were put into effect. There never was a problem with full autos in the US, and never would be if these actions were repealed tomorrow. |
