[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3617604, member: 43724"] The problem with that, as others have said, is you are now requiring the government give me permission to keep and bear arms. I'm sorry, but your strawman argument that because some people might be irresponsible with their firearm means I need the government's permission doesn't hold up to the constitution, regardless what liberal judges have said. If that argument was valid then you would be ok with every single person having to have an interlock device in EVERY motor vehicle because some might drive while intoxicated. You would be ok with having the government give you a license to eat at restaurants because some people might eat poorly and become overweight. You are saying that based on other's decisions and actions that I have to have more restrictions. That is completely opposite on what our country was founded on. Every country in the world that has lost their right to own firearms has started with this logic. Even here in the states that is true. And now we have Massachusetts that is trying to ban ALL semi-auto's, pistols, rifles, and shotguns. Not just a mag restriction, an out-right ban. As they say, the road to hell is paved in good intentions, and trust me, these firearm laws are not good intentions. You are either for freedom, in all its scary glory, or you are for serfdom. Its that simple, and yes that absolute. If you are so scared that people will buy firearms with no clue on how to handle them, then advocate for mandatory firearm safety classes in grade school. That would save a lot more lives then any law. [/QUOTE]
