Don't you find it ironic that your example of "needing machine guns" is to protect those same machine guns? I'm all for gun rights, but I'm in the licensing camp meaning that I don't think anyone should be able to own a gun or hunt without a license - and to get that license require years of training, part of which could be waived with a college degree. Further I wouldn't let anyone besides a select few federally regulated folk sell guns. No more gun shows. Finally, in order to maintain your license you would be required to lock up all of your guns save one you would designate as your personal weapon. This weapon you could conceal-and-carry and/or use to protect your home. If your home or business was broken into and guns were stolen that were not locked up, and those stolen guns were used in a crime, the owner would lose their license to own as well as become an accomplice in the crime. This means that under the Gruss plan anyone could own guns, could conceal-n-carry, could own fully automatic weapons. But that ownership bar would be MUCH higher than it is today. Oh, and the same regulations would apply to ammunition starting today. PS - I understand the problem with foreign import and arbitrage but I'm too lazy to write out everything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:257011 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
