Angry Protestors carrying guns, I could not see anything other than a positive outcome.

We've had armed protest when dealing when gun laws (either wanting to prevent or enact as law) and nothing happened.

TRue-wouldn't the element of surprise be more advantageous?

Why do you even bother? You're totally ignorant about anything related to firearms and refuse to learn anything. Everything you say has been debunked multiple times and yet you continue to spew out the same lies.

Okay, so you want to be able to openly own silencers without registration and own fully automatic weapons, what else?

I am not a gun nut.. I do not support further deregulation nor open carry but I would support conceal carry (leaving it up to the state). Even I do not agree with you.

Some would say the ban against short barreled rifles and shotguns is unconstitutional. A short rifle might have limited use but a shorter shotgun would be more useful for home defense than the current minimum length.

I'd really like to see the ban on many imports lifted... The Koreans are sitting on a pile of M1s. Also like to see the 1986 FOPA lifted...

That depends, are you for or against State Rights? Shouldn't the people of each state make this decision or should gun laws be controlled at the Federal Level? Obviously that opinion would change for you depending on if it is Democrats or Republicans in control of the Federal Government. We both know you would be crying about State Rights if Congress and the President were run by Democrats.
