I never once said that we should not continue to work on expanding gun rights in the same way they were taken away... Incrementally, one at a time. But we must also protect the rights that we currently still enjoy. And in some places open carry of a long gun is entirely legal. Something about a right exercised is a right lost. I heard that somewhere and kinda liked it. But I digress.
I've had my say as a guest on your forum but I'll step out of this discussion now. Why? Because a small portion of your argument above sounds like it was written by someone from the Brady Bunch or VPC. Who can argue against "logical restrictions" or machine guns being handled at a dinner table. I certainly can't.

Looking at the big picture, requires a Venn diagram approach - if you take an all or nothing approach togun carry rights, e.g., that no legal or social or logical restrictions should ever be applied or implied to gun carry, no matter whether the gun is in a holster, a hand, slung over a shoulder, or whether it is along gun or machine gun,being handled at the dinner table, etc., you are basically left with very little, or no,shaded gray area of agreement - and even if some identifiable segment of pulic opinion might warm up to this view, the law will not, and the approach you suggest would truly hurt the development of the law right now, which is headed in our direction. For now.
