Oh I agree with you completely @HireHand. If I had any firearms (wink wink) there would be no way in hell that I would give them up. My 'fight' is only against those whose '. . . shall not infringe' stance centers on their idea that everyone should be able to own anything, for use anywhere, anytime. Well screw that! There is no way I want my (usualy drunk or high) 'gang banger' neighbor to have a box of fragmentation grenades or his own HBMG M2 .50 cal.
I've lived in areas (Compton, CA, Lenox, CA, N. Las Vegas, NV) where non-registered NFA items were fairly common in the 'hood'. In fact in N. Las Vegas, my kids and I had to sleep on the floor UNDER our beds (for safety) during the whole three years we lived there. No thanks, been there, done that!
It's almost as if criminals don't care about laws.
