I'll explain myself better....
Some time ago I entered this gun shop and there it was exposed an enormous Barrett M82 50 cal BMG semi-auto rifle.
I asked innocently to the shop owner, what is the realistic purpose for this?? and he said proudly..."remember is in our constitutional rights, if the government has it, we can have it.."
I find this answer flimsy at best...
So if the government can have ballistic missiles means that I shoud l be allowed to have a ballistic missile?? OR a Stealth Fighter jet?? or a 105 mm Howitzer??? Or a nuclear submarine?? You get the point..
Do not get me wrong I do love guns (otherwise i would not be a member of THR) but, realistically, where do we draw the line??? What do you think is the limit in the ownership of a weapon system by a civilian???
Opinions and ideas?? let's brainstorm!!!
