i'll sum up my whole argument with the same question i posed to nik: what right do you have to tell me what i can and cannot own? let's remove guns from the equation, what this boils down to is personal property, you're telling me that there is certain property i cannot own, and that is wrong. let's substitute cars for guns, more people are killed by cars every year than by guns, so i say the average citizen cannot be trusted to own their own auto, only highly skilled heavily regulated individuals can be trusted and those people will drive busses for the rest of us. i'm telling you that you can't own a piece of private property because i say so.
