    So you wouldn’t care if the legislation was written to ban anything that has the potential to kill?

    Guns, cars, knives, bleach, rope all could fall into that category. See how words have specific definitions and actually matter quite a bit? Especially when the law is concerned. Why do you think there’s different categories of homicide? Do you think manslaughter and 1st degree murder should carry the same penalty?

        So large jacked up trucks have a use? Butterfly knives and swords have practical uses? What about cars with more than 200 hp? Not like you can do 120mph anywhere legally, so why have them? Or alcohol, more people are killed 10 fold via drunk drivers than all rifles combined… sounds like alcohol should go back to prohibition era and the gov. poisons it.

            Absolutely and mass transit. Trains should have been worked heavily into long distance travel in our country. Even though I’m a petrolhead, I still don’t understand why we neutered our mass transit and civilian walkable infrastructure…might have helped with our obesity epidemic.
