Everyone knows this? Compensation issues for the most part? Compensation for what?

If this is what you visualize when you hear the word "arsenal" you'd scream like a little ***** in the home of any real gun enthusiast.

Not much of an arsenal, looks like he could have done some shopping.

No, we should only do away with the ones that restrict law abiding citizens from exercising their rights while accomplishing nothing to stop criminals.

No, they weren't. What was needed then, just like what is needed now, is for current firearms legislation to be enforced. Passing more firearms legislation because the old legislation is too expensive/complicated/time-consuming to enforce is the height of stupidity.

A person uses the internet to bully but we don't ban the internet or iphone, a person kills while DUI but we don't ban all cars or alcohol.

Did you think criminals are born, and that a law abiding citizen today cannot be a criminal tomorrow? If so, I pity you.

You can't enforce something if it doesn't exist. And if it exists, and isn't enforced, you can't blame legislation.

No it isn't..... We don't have toy swords and crappy junk like on that list.. That stuff is the mark of a retard kid punklet who will never amount to anything higher than mom's skirt.

You PC are just that way......

I made a Germanic short hunting sword which is used as the coup de gras. This item was made for sale and fully usable. I made the blade and heat treated the blade and that blade was 24 inches long. The handle was made of carved exotic hard wood and was inlaid with fine sterling wire twisted to be a cord in 4 places that spiraled around the grip. and ended in a finale knob all hand filed and decorated in steel.

A man I took for a gentlemen approached and remarked on the item and seemed interested to have a better look (in his hands). He inspected the item and the quality and then passed the item to his teen son, who instantly went Ninja on me.

That kid was waving a weapon all around and other people were in range, and his IDIOT FOOL PC Father didn't do a thing to stop him!

I got up from my seat and slapped that kid to the ground where then I took back my item and wiped it clean and told his father that if he wasn't out of my sight in 5 milliseconds he was next!

I just happen to have a low threshold for Stupid and Political Correctness BS!

The PC wouldn't know a toy sword from a real one. Most of the toy swords bought for kids these days are made of junk chevy and old subaru mild recovered steel and you can tie that steel in a knot with your bare hands..... But i wouldn't expect the PC to be able to know the difference.

Most PC can't tell the difference between silver and aluminum by looking..

I don't blame legislation. Legislation is nothing more than words on paper. What I blame is the idiots who call for more legislation to be stacked on top of legislation that is not enforced to begin with.
