Where do you stand on banning guns?

57. Yes.

For the most part the class 2 rules seem arbitrary and unnecessary, and in some instances run contrary to doing good. I am against all arbitrary laws, they dilute people's respect for the rule of law in gneral.

SBR/SBS who makes these arbitrary rules that 16 is ok, but 15.75" is somehow too short? Cant have a pistol with a shoulder stock, but there are some antique mausers (that still shoot and are deadly) that are somehow exempt?
And Suppressors. Why should I have to suffer hearing damage? Why should neighbors to a firing range have to listen to gunfire all day? The arguments for suppressors are specious at best. Law breakers are going to have them and use them regardless. They aren't very hard to make with simple hand tools and readily available materials, from everything I have seen and read (though I would recommend against doing so without proper paperwork) It's already a felony to poach game, who cares if you have a second felony on top of it for having a suppressor while doing it? Either way, get caught and go to jail for a long time.

I'm on the fence about full-auto, but lean towards liberalizing those rules. Most people just couldn't afford to feed something like that, and determined individuals will have then regardless of the legality. At the same time it's hard to argue that they have legitimate use in everyday life, but then the 2A is not necessarily about everyday life.

I think the founders would be shocked that we even contemplate restricting firearms ownership, and that they didn't put in a clause about self defense and hunting because those should be self evident to any rational person. The right of the people to rise up against tyrants, however was and remains a radical notion, especially to have this embedded in the founding documents of a country as happened here.
