31. Sure.. but the OP's *ahem*cough* attempt *cough*..
.. to paint all second amendment supporters as some kind of hypocrites because they accept some level of restriction, but not others is disingenuous.

You have a right to vote. But if you show up naked at the poll without ID, you won't vote. Does that make voting rights supporters hypocrites?

Most of the RKBA supporters I know are not of the anarchist bent that the OP would have them be, were they true to his/her "ideal". Most prefer the line right where it is, regarding what kinds of weapons should be easily accessible in the marketplace, versus additional scrutiny.

Personally, the only thing in the 1934 NFA that I would change is the registration of supressors. I chalk that up to the movies and television, though- they don't actually 'silence' the report from a firearm. They're sold over the counter in many European countries, including the UK. They're considered a safety device for the shooter there (and a way to be kind to one's neighbors.)
