I'm for setting the goalposts at the extreme of "anything at all including nukes" and always trying to stay pointed in that direction. That said, I accept the pragmatism of some forms of regulation and restriction without liking them.<BR/><BR/>From my understandings of the Founding Fathers, they would have been appalled by the fact that I can't have a working tank, and equally appalled by the fact that the Federal government feels the need to keep a standing army of thousands of them.Atom Smasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717946941636575857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817503750343460336.post-50504959791415255042009-02-26T20:51:00.000-06:002009-02-26T20:51:00.000-06:00Any firearm festooned with "Deadly Shoulder Things...Any firearm festooned with "Deadly Shoulder Things That Go Up" is clearly not meant for civilian hands. That kind of evil implement should not be allowed in society. <BR/><BR/>Lets see, though. Banning arms from civilian posession.... <BR/><BR/>M1A2 Abrams -- definitely too complex for the average shade tree mechanic to handle. In the interest of maintaining consistent quality, we can't allow the average joe to run one of these. <BR/><BR/>F-18 -- moves much too fast and would thereby violate speeding laws. <BR/><BR/>B-57 10 kiloton nuclear bomb. This makes far to big of a bang. Very nasty.<BR/><BR/>M2 Bradley. The fuel consumption on these makes the carbon footprint too utterly dreadful for words. A definite no-no in the suburban garage.MeatAxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477536538497998805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817503750343460336.post-45290693412696499552009-02-26T20:16:00.000-06:002009-02-26T20:16:00.000-06:00Question for you guys: what kinds of weapons woul...Question for you guys: what kinds of weapons would it be reasonable for the government to ban from civilian possession?
