Taking a little flak here, Jeff? (I'd insert a smilie here, but I've apparently disabled them.)
Oh my, I really and truly enjoy this site, and nothing in this thread will change that fact. I think of you folks as my buddies, and maybe that's naive, but it's true.
These ultra-libertarian threads always throw me for a loop, because 95% of the time I'm in your camp, but sometimes I think some of you go too far.
Anyway, I note that those dang "ultras" are throwing around plenty of rhetoric, but I'd really like to hear a simple "yes" or "no" answer to a simple question: Do you think any living person should be able to purchase a Stinger missle for cash, at the local hardware store, without providing any identification? It really is a simple "yes" or "no" question, but I don't really expect any simple "yes" or "no" responses. Just rhetoric that evades the question.
And now I'm going to bed, but I'll check in tomorrow night.
