The 'reasonable restrictions' part of the gun control issue is the devil in the details. With free speech, we can agree that some speech is out of bounds...pornography, sedition or libel come to mind. Proponents of free speech would not want HUSTLER publisher Larry Flynnt as their spokesperson because his view of free speech is too extreme.
By default of any other organized sportsman's voice, the NRA is our only voice on gun control, and they have taken the 'we must all hang together' position that any restraint on gun rights is unacceptable. I simply question that strategy and fear that it might end up our common downfall.
I heard The Prez say in one of his campaign speeches that 'no one could tell him that America couldn't find a way to both protect the rights of the pheasant hunter in Pennsylvania and put an end to gun related gang crime in Chicago'. Much as I dislike the guy's politics, that sentiment resonated with me and I'll bet with a lot of other folks too.
You buy whatever gun you want so long as it is still legal to do it, I will to. Make mine a sxs...Geo
If the zombies show up I'll just have to shoot'em with my .43 Mauser hammer cape-gun cause its the hottest firepower I own.
