Are you for ownership of any type of weapon, or do you think it's smarter to outlaw, perhaps, the more devastating kinds? This seems to be what the SAFE act was geared towards, which would also suggest why the city thought a registry was necessary. Besides the typical "they took his guns!" response, do you have any other thoughts concerning this measure?
I'm loathe to grant the government the right to place any more restrictions on us. No matter what it is that the particular restriction is for.
My grandfather was 1 of 7 boys. They all died pretty young. The oldest surviving and last of them was gunned down in church by a pretty vocal atheist in the community with a M16 when I was a little kid.
He killed a little girl too that day in that church along with several other people.
First funeral I ever attended.
Would he have maybe killed fewer individuals if he was restricted to a hunting rifle? Probably.
I'm sure the government would love to protect us by taking away our rights to possess certain types of weapons. I just don't trust our government all that much.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
