Well no I shouldn't. What makes explosive weapons justifiablly legal? Excessive force and iimpractical use. Don't get me wrong blowing up stuff with the guys may be fun but not much you can do with a rocket launcher, grenade, landmine, etc but reek chaos. Why not just clamp down on everything against us? Well it sounds good. except the outlaws and that shelter-logic leads to cutting liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I don't need for example my bow. I have a perfectly good grocery store down the road. A bow can be used against me. Used silently i might add. But is that reasonable cause for the sacrifice? Well to me, no. I love shooting my bow. I love to alter it and hunt. I just love looking at the damn thing. I love what it means to me and i love its ability to help me escape.
I'm more than happy to sign off on your possession and use of a bow, knife and sling shot. I'll live with the risk of someone going psycho with one of those in their hand. No problem. I also share the appreciation of using a weapon to kill an animal to eat. There is real honesty and integrity in that, at least for we omnivores.

I love shooting a large clip and not having a pain in my ass annoying law inhibiting my enjoyment with the weapon. As far as your other comment about ordinary joes, fine it is your right to think it and express it.iI don't know what you really expect me to say to that.
Okay, here is where I draw the line. I'm not willing to risk you or any of the rest of the population suffering a psychotic break or emotional meltdown with one of these things in your hand. Forget it.
In a civil society there is no reason not to delegate the weapon wielding to a specially trained few. Whether or not some people would feel more secure to have one of these in their own hands, I think your desire for a feeling of safety doesn't trump the rest of ours'.

Not sure what you're saying here. Do you think the 2nd amendment as it stands exists for the sake of providing an avenue for over throwing the government. Because that would just be crazy.
