Is it just me, or are we beginning to lose our perspective amidst all this wanton regulation.
How long will it be before we're arguing that the sharp corners on our muzzle,loaded florescent orange painted, foam-projectile only, civilian class "firearms" are essential to defending our freedom, and that the government has no right to demand that they be covered in padding.
I can see the counter-comments now...
How would you feel if your child was bludgeoned to death with one of these murder-tools, knowing it would have been prevented if we'd been proactive enough to regulate the ownership of hard, blunt objects. You can't put a price on safety, I won't have my kids growing up in a world where some wacko can just walk into a store and buy a hard blunt object with no background check, then go and beat an auditorium full of children to death.
