I've been looking for a good grounds to stand on with this subject, and I like the way you think.Explain the term "strawman", if you would, please?
You notice that I did not state the individuals should not be permitted to own fully automatic firearms.
I do have the opinion that owning a fully automatic rifle should have some a strong training requirement, where owning a semi-automatic handgun or long gun should have no requirement, except maybe a strong urging from retailer to purchaser to get training.
But the main point of my post was that to state that ANY regulation is "bad", is flawed. I think that regulations should be enacted only when a strong and compelling argument, based on solid evidence, can be made for it. In other words, very rare.
