I agree that the responsible gun owners, whether I agree with their overzealous need for guns or not, will get the short end of the stick but the unfortunate fact is, you have to plan for stupid. You have to plan for the crazies who do things they shouldn't. In addition, you will never convince me a 'responsible gun owner' will carry anything larger than a handgun on their person outside of their own home.

Hunting and sport shooting are exceptions to this. By law, these activities have to take place in specifically designated areas, or unpopulated areas. You can carry a RPG into the woods and I wouldn't care, but if you carry one on your person in the city, you should be arrested on the spot. Same thing for anything larger than a handgun.

Personally, I think they need to cap the handgun size as well to make .45 and .50 caliber handguns illegal as well, but that's a hair I won't argue about splitting... it's a smaller issue in the overall scheme of things and not worth the hassle.

Yeah, see, to me that's just this side of being institutional-grade retardation 'cause it sounds like you're saying a .45 is more dangerous/deadly than a .22LR.

And why is it okay to carry an RPG in the woods, but not the city? Country folk are immunte to shaped charges?

But hey, cool, let's do it.

But now let's also make parking spaces illegal within 1500 feet of all bars 'cause that'll save us from drunk drivers.
