[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 4052014, member: 42584"] - Just as in [I]Lord of the Rings 'one ring to rule them all' - [/I]there has always been a need for some authoritative individual or group to rule over the rest of of us in order to keep things in order. Our society is no different, and where the problem comes in is that even our leaders can no longer rule without there being chaos even among their own ranks. [I]- HillsideDesolate [/I]said it well when he said "(. . . about 30% of the population is pant on head retarded).", so some regulations ARE required to help keep protect us from ourselves, including those that, unfortunately, are needed to regulate our guns. In my opinion it is [B]not[/B] the regulating authority, but the regulations themselves that are the problem. Hear me out! - Maybe it was required at one time back in the original 'gangster' days, but these days there is no real need anymore to ban or restrict things like SBR, SBS, suppressors, or any other item that, in an of themselves, do not make a weapon more lethal. Enhancing the operation is not the same as making more dangerous. - On the [B]State[/B] [B]level[/B] (where almost all restrictions occur) banning items like bayonet lugs, barrel shrouds, extendable stocks, normal magazine size, flash suppressors, vertical (forward) grips, and others are all based on nothing more than aesthetics and is just political knee-jerking which needs to stop. - The fact that some items (NFA) are restricted for those ONLY until a $200 fee is paid is nothing more than a .gov tax which also needs to stop (either you are eligible or you're not - period), and in today's digital-age there is no reason it should take up to a year or longer for a background check (even an enhanced one), so that BS also needs to stop. Other weapons types (WMD's) [B]should [/B]be restricted from general ownership, like fragmentation grenades, rockets, biological weapons, etc. if for no other reason than (as I said before) some people simply do not have the responsibility needed to safely own these type of weapons.
