[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 4011917, member: 42584"] What I actually said in my comment (post #22) was that " [B]In some things [/B]my opinion does carry more weight than that of a non-vet. ". As a veteran I would certainly know more about military training or the power of a grenade than a non-vet[B], [/B]for example. That is why I specifically named only certain weapons like an RPG-7 or 'Claymore', among others, in my comment. I am NOT against 'civilians' being able to have most weapons for personal use, but I am against the typical citizen having some of those weapons because they are much more powerful than most 'civilians' realize. Again, as stated before, I certainly would not want someone prone to 'road-rage' and fits of anger to have access to a Light Anti-Tank Weapon (LAW) in the event that I accidentally cut that person off in traffic. I'm not willing to sacrifice myself and my family based on the principle of " . . . shall not be infringed." [B]for any reason[/B]. I don't tend to just slap words into a comment without THINKING first about what I am putting out there. I'm NOT anti-2A but I am anti-stupid. [/QUOTE]
