Here's What You Can Buy At The Biggest Gun Show In The Southeast{image warning}

56. Granted. But if one takes the high side, one must also admit the hind side.

That's where the politics on this issue disappears. Someplace between a hunting rifle and a thermonuclear bomb there is a line. Someplace between unrestricted access to purchase any weapon and no weapons for anybody there is a reasonable middle ground.

The gun shows seem to flaunt any demarcation (from the reportage). Many states seem to be willing to enable such things.

The only sensible solution for this highly emotional issue is for reasonable limits aligned along the premise that not everybody should be able to own such a destructive weapon as a firearm. And that there is a demarcation line between a BB gun and a thermonuclear weapon which reasonable people can agree on.

That's the way I think of these things.

My own opinion, fully automatic firearms should be licensed and very difficult to own, if at all. Collectors are fine, but they should be rare, and licensed as such.

CC should be fairly rare as well. Not many people are in such danger that they have to be armed. Paranoia is no justification.

There's room for negotiations here. But that's where I see things.
